The influence area of a temple is greater than the plot where it is built. The aim of this article
is to think about the potential of urban spaces —particularly the ones attached to churches. They can turn their crossing point attributes into liturgical and socia- lisation ones. Some historical and contemporary examples of urban areas in Barcelona used like community room are given. All of them show that only with a good management and with few reversible elements is possible to transform the common urban space into living space between buildings. With this attitude is not even necessary to build any costly disposable infrastructure to shelter any kind of major event. And it is a way of act more in accordance with the austerity of the Gospels.
