Christian churches have traditionally been considered to have very good acoustical behavior. This unfounded belief has led to
important en-on in church rehabilitation works, especially when the church is to be used subsequently as an auditorium or theater; this
is the case of many churches in Spain. Our research group has worked in acoustical analysis for more than ten years. We have
participated in many cases of church rehabilitation and have had the opp&unity to achieve surprisingly good acwstical behavior in
several. We deal with a very common type in southern Spain: Gothic-Mudejar churches, which have a small volume, a triple-nave
layout, and wooden ceilings
