The main objective is to determine constructive, geometric and material properties in the construction of original brick domes of temples in the province of Alicante from the late seventeenth to the early nineteenth century. 38 crossing domes in 35 churches and cathedrals in Alicante municipalities were studied by collecting original drawings, draw up plans, 3D construction , thermography and sampling, followed by a comparative analysis of variables. Constructively, the 88.57 % of the analyzed simple domes are from a sheet of solid bricks. Geometrically, 97.37 % present circular floor and 92.1 % have a camber shape. The blue glazed finish on decks is characteristic in the province (68.42 %), adorned with white easels. This research is essential to establish use and conservation criteria, facilitating future rehabilitation interventions in such kind of religious buildings.
