Abstract
Traditionally, a particularly good acoustic behavior has been assigned to Christian churches. But this statement, which is not true at all, has led to important errors in church rehabilitation works, more so in those that implicate changes of use, such as auditoriums or theatrical halls, which is the case of many churches in Spain. This research group has worked in acoustical analysis for more than ten years, and has participated in many cases of church rehabilitation, among which is acoustical behavior. We are talking about a type of church very common in the south of Spain, Gothic-Mudejar churches. They are churches with these common characteristics: relatively little volume, plants with three naves, and wooden ceilings. With this work, significant conclusions drawn from the acoustical analysis of ten churches of Seville that respond to this type are presented. Their characteristics are quite homogeneous, so it is possible to get conclusions about the acoustical conditions of this ecclesiastical type.
