Summary:Metrical study of Spanish baroque altarpieces, using various methodologies, allows us to reflect on the possibilities of analysis, dissemination and inclusion of these heritage resources, which have important potential for tourism. Most historical altarpieces are subject to some kind of legal protection. Many remain in situ and consequently fulfill the function of protecting the sacred image, adorning the church and providing a scenographic frame, which acquires its full splend our during the liturgy. To be properly understood and enjoyed, altarpieces need to be seen in the setting for which they were designed, and during the service. It is then that their gilded architecture displays its values as tangible and intangible heritage, in an atmosphere that stimulates the senses. In the past, the production of altarpieces required dialogue between master craftsmen from different professions. This collaboration is an example of action, which will hopefully be continued and sustained in the present and the future
