Abstract
The paper explores reasons for the formation of Christian liturgical architecture before the 20th century. Although a large variety of historical examples hinders the exact definition of paradigmatic models, each historical period reflects specific theoretical premises which show the guiding principle of spatial formation. The paper also analyzes ways in which Christian liturgical space was influenced by adoption of theological and liturgical concepts and the meaning of the liturgical buildings in their original historical urban context.
