Résumé en anglais

The "Spirit of Place" in Mesoamerica seems to have been generatedby a strong inter-connection between landscape, the built environment,
pilgrimage, and rituals performed on key dates of a religious cycle. Eventhough this complex was transposed to Christianity; today, there is a new sociocultural
phenomenon generating a different "Spirit of Place." Understandingthis evolution through interpretation will enable its dissemination as a
preservation enhancing the protection of cultural landscapes and builtenvironments, as well as, maintaining its intangible nature and potentiality for
change.
