Abstract
Dentro de las tipologías arquitectónicas religiosas iberoamericanas adquieren una enorme originalidad las capillas posas y las capillas de indios; soluciones que entroncan con el papel desempeñado en los conventos por las órdenes religiosas de cara a afrontar la evangelización masiva de indígenas y proyectar los ritos litúrgicos y paralitúrgicos. Tales capillas no solo determinan una cierta singularidad, sino que patentizan una doble influencia artística, entre Europa y América, con dirección de ida y vuelta. El presente trabajo tratará de abordar los paralelos españoles de tales referentes en las capillas abiertas callejeras que jalonaban el parcelario urbano a lo largo de los siglos XVII y XVIII, bajo una utilidad múltiple que oscilaba desde el atractivo devocional a la parada preceptiva durante las procesiones, y la sacralización y protección general del entramado viario.
Within the Ibero-American religious architectural typologies, the Posas and Indian chapels showcase an enormous originality, which connects with the role played in the convents by religious orders to face the massive evangelization of indigenous people and to project the liturgical and paraliturgical rites. Such chapels not only determine a certain singularity, but they also show a double artistic influence, between Europe and America, in a two-way direction. The present paper will try to address the Spanish parallels of such references in the open streets chapels that marked the urban plans along the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries, under a multiple utility that oscillated from the devotional attraction to the required stop during processions, and the sacralization and general protection of the road network.
