Capiteles hispánicos altomedievales. Las contradicciones de la cultura mozárabe y el núcleo bizantino del noroeste

The aim of this study is the cultural feature enclosed in the «iglesias mozarabes». The analysis conclusion is that in these churches coexist two different cultural worlds. The first, which is relationed with at direct byzantine influence situate in the VI century. The other, with obvious rural sense belongs to «asturleonesa» culture. At the same time is propose a radical review about mozarabic architecture, which is based more than in the use of severa! formal elements, on a functional criterion homologous to the first phases of the great mosque of Cordoba which is shown in the systematic use of architectonic and structural rests of previous ages.
