It could be a paradox to talk about the introduction of modernity in the field of religious architecture due to the attitude of custody and continuation of a tradition that her promoters should maintain. However, we can see how modern churches emerged from the unity of a new theological and architectural vision, with the aim of building a new architecture with the features of the new world. The objective of this study is to show the basics that led to the radical change that have happened in the creation of sacred spaces in the whole of Europe from the beginning of the last century.Downloads
