The following article discuss the purpose of the religious syncretism that took place during Mexico´s evangelization in the XVI Century. Whilst adressing the particular symbiosis produced between prehispanic elements and Christian European architecture, can we talk about a reached consensus on the location of those elements, that is to say, authorized by the friar in charge, or is it perhaps the evidence of a rebel act from the natives in order to protect their culture and beliefs? As study case it has been selected the photographies of four stones with prehispanics reliefs embedded in four christian buildings in Cuautitlán, Huaquechula, Cholula and Tzintzuntzan. This article shall expand the concept of syncretism and explore it´s different ways of manifestation in the delimited period.Downloads
