Abstract
The presentation is dedicated to the problems of Mexican monastic architecture and its artistic decoration. This architecture was developed in the New Spain throughout the 16th century in order to evangelize and at the same time acculturate the native population.
It begins with a brief presentation of my research, then addresses evangelizing architecture and art, and finally, it discusses the possibilities and at the same time limits of interdisciplinary approaches, dedicating itself solely to the three scientific disciplines - history, art history and anthropology.
