Abstract

Welcome greeting to the participants in a congress that takes place in Seville, a city that is an expert in elevating magnificent fleeting altars for liturgical celebrations. The tomb that was built in the cathedral for the funeral of King Felipe II in 1589 is especially remembered, and it inspired the famous sonnet by Miguel de Cervantes, which captures one of the most interesting ideas of religious ephemeral architecture: showing the beauty of faith but, at the same time, signify the transience of human constructions.
