Abstract
Un aspecto poco conocido de la colonización americana fue la implantación y el desarrollo de la arquitectura religiosa hispana en Tierra Firme. Llegó al continente como lo hizo a las islas caribeñas, de la mano de la nueva organización eclesiástica diseñada por la Corona según el modelo sevillano. Sin embargo, su plasmación fue muy tardía y desigual, condicionada por diferentes factores que se analizan en este estudio. Sufrió asimismo un proceso de adaptación al medio americano difícil de interpretar a la luz de los escasos testimonios materiales que han llegado a nuestros días.
