| Sumario: | [EN] La Rioja baja contains a total of 92 Christian temples distributed in parish churches and some convents, all built over the centuries from the twelfth to the twentieth century. The orientation of the main axis and apse of most of these temples is towards ‘east’, but of them very few according to the equinoctial orientation. Those built from the 12th to the 17th century have the azimuth of their apses takes values of 90° or angles smaller than 90°, those raised from the eighteenth to the twentieth century their apse is headed azimuts greater or equal to 90°; The former suggest that their designs were made in the period from the equinox of spring to autumn, the second from the autumn to the spring equinox. In general there is a tendency of loss of orientation towards east as the centuries go by. |
