This course aims to investigate the origins of religion, from its ancestor, the magical world, to advance to religiosity to crystallize in the religions that were structured in the ancient world (Paleolithic, Neolithic, Egypt, Sumer, Greece and Rome), moving from a magical paradigm to a mythical paradigm. Studying these subjects allows us to understand the central importance of religions in the social life of the first cultures and civilizations and man as homo religiosus. Afterwards, the two monotheistic traditions - besides Christianity - such as Judaism and Islam will be studied from the perspective of their buildings for worship and their art when it exists. It will be of paramount importance to highlight the sense of aniconic art (without images) that characterize these religions in order to contrast them with Christianity and other iconic (image-making) traditions.
