Abstract


The importance of the historical monument heritage of the Temple Order in the Iberian Peninsula (mainly castles) has been treated differently within historiography. In the second half of the nineteenth century, the Romance movement mixed fact and fiction, attributing a round floor plan to all Templar chapels. In 1954 an article by Lambert on Templar architecture broke with this mistaken theory and established the basis for its scientific study. Fortunately, in recent decades the study of this heritage has achieved the academic recognition it deserved within History of Art.
