Sacred Sites is a journey through spiritual landscapes that traces the history of sacred art and architecture to explore the countless ways in which we imbue our surroundings with profound and enduring meaning.

From the early vision of nature and the body as temples to the imagination of future realms, the book traverses the vast territories of myth, religion and human creativity, showing how we transform places, routes and gestures into spaces of transcendence.

Through gatherings, pilgrimages and offerings, we breathe life into spaces, gather around the fire, worship in forests, temples and sanctuaries, and leave traces repeated generation after generation on land considered sacred. In this quest, architecture emerges as a ‘cosmic geometry’ built slowly, stone by stone, visible in the imposing pyramids of various cultures, marble sanctuaries dedicated to Greco-Roman goddesses, wind-swept mountain monasteries in Asia, or cliff-top dwellings of the indigenous peoples of the south-western United States. Nature, art and beauty serve here as a common thread linking the places of our ancestors with the contemporary settings where we seek to connect with ourselves.

As the fifth volume of La Biblioteca del Esoterismo, this edition charts a sacred route from rugged stone temples to works of modern architecture, paying homage to the collective history of the spaces that human worship has rendered sacred.
