Abstract

The present PhD dissertation deals with the phenomenon of the conversion into churches of great mosques in 13th century Castile, one of most crucial stages in the Christian conquest of Al-Andalus. From a transcultural perspective, we analyze first the symbolic and the architectural mechanisms employed by the Castilian elites in the Christianization of a type of building that became the most common example of religious architecture in the Southern half of the Iberian Peninsula until well into the Early Modern Period. Ultimately, we consider the role played by the reutilization of Andalusi buildings in the process of assimilation of the Hispano-Muslim art by the Christian Kingdoms.
