A wide variety of types related with their function are identified, amongst those are tabernacles for the chapels dedicated to saints which conserve their relics, relic altarpiece designed to preserve and exhibit item, the great wall groups of painting and sculpture (or a mixture of both) that are placed in the presbyiery like an open book with a didacitic function or those that are mode to dignify an old image with miraculous qualities or those dedicated to the Virgin in her various guises Also the conflict of paironship in Spain is analysed during the 17th century through the existente or not of the corresponding forms of the Virgin in certain cathedrals, and of course their position in a prominent or secondary place as well as the places of greater iranscendence such as: the presbyiery, the central chapel of the apse aisle, the transept the reirochoir and finally greater or lesser proximity to the main chapel.
