| Summary: | This article deals with the urban integration of Spanish Dominican convents through preaching. This subject, which has been developed in other geographical areas (especially in Italy), is still infrequent, with some exceptions, in the historiography on the Hispanic kingdoms. This article therefore aims to lay the foundations for a reflection on the location of convents in Spanish cities. How are they situated in relation to other areas of religious life? For example, the convent, now disappeared, of the Dominicans in Barcelona was located in a symbolic position outside the city walls, but opposite the cathedral. We will also deal with the use of large squares, through the location of fixed or mobile pulpits, and the large sculpted façades (which appeared in the Dominican churches of the late 15th century in Segovia, Ávila, Valladolid and Salamanca), which can be analysed as iconographic supports for preaching. |
