Abstract
The church of Santa Cruz de Oleiros, Spain (1967) shows architect Miguel Fisac’s perception of sacred
space after the Second Vatican Council. In this place of worship, the architect responded to the new
liturgical guidelines combining geometry and architectural forms with the material of the moment, concrete.
However, ordinary religious celebrations reveal acoustic deficiencies for the main use of the building.
This fact is corroborated by acoustic measurements in situ. With a methodology that uses simulation
techniques for the sound field, the analysis of the current acoustic behaviour of the room will serve as
the basis for an acoustic rehabilitation proposal aimed at improving the acoustic conditions and so, the
functionality of the church.
