Confronted architectures and pilgrimage. Confluence of powers at different latitudes. Our Lady of Guadalupe, Madrid, and Hermitage of Our Lady of the Nativity of Mary, El Pocito, San Juan de los Lagos

Abstract

: The public space appropriation is linked to pilgrimage phenomena. Both are irremediably connected to architectural objects, expressly created as gravita-tional centers of religious devotion, where this social phenomenon is verified. The comparative points of the main investigation start from the architectural objects production and a lecture of its transformations over time. Understood as the main places where hierarchical structures exercise their power, implicit in the act of in-habiting through time.
