Hispania Sacra focuses on the history of the Catholic Church in the Iberian Peninsula and its territories. It examines ecclesiastical institutions, religious orders (particularly Cistercians), and the roles of clergy and laity within these structures. The journal also explores the intersection of religious life with political power, patronage, and cultural practices, including liturgy, hagiography, and the administration of church resources.
