This International Conference, held at the Escuela Española de Historia y Arqueología en Roma (EEHAR-CSIC) and coorganised with the Institut français du Proche-Orient (IFPO-CNRS), approaches the constructions and uses of religious Christian buildings in most of the territories of the early Islamic empire (7th-9th c.), from Armenia and Iraq to Ifriqiya and al-Andalus. Archaeologists and historians are invited to present, compare and discuss their respective sources, methodologies and perspectives with the aim of finding possible consistent chronological and geographical trends and breaks.
