The author discusses some of the religious buildings of peninsular Early Christianity located in the north of the ancient Roman province of Lusitania. He begins by discussing some terms that are often used, particularly paleocristianimo. He establishes a typology of monuments of this period, based on its geographic location and discusses, based on recent discoveries of this period, such as a basilica at the site of Prazo, in Numão, municipality of Vila Nova de Foz Coa, or the archeological relationship with the architecture as in Idanha-a-Velha, new interpretations of religious buildings and especially their chronologies. The author analyses the major basilicas located between Douro and Tagus, Conimbriga, Idanha-a-Velha, S. Pedro de Balsemão, Prazo and Viseu. He concludes with the proposed timelines for this new building and the increasing importance of studying the archeology of architecture.
