Cathedrals are significant pieces of architecture, symbols of the European culture, whose grandiosity is the result not only of their extraordinary visual features, but also of their remarkable acoustic environment.

This talk summarises the methodology utilised to analyse and preserve the acoustics of a sample of European cathedrals, which is based on the analysis of a set of measured and simulated room impulse responses (RIR). On-site RIR are registered to describe the current acoustic properties of each building while simulation techniques are applied to explore their acoustics through history, which might have been altered, for instance, by significant architectural changes that each cathedral suffered over time.

The research work presented is linked to three funded projects: two Spanish national projects on the Acoustics and Virtual Reality in Spanish Cathedrals, and the EC-funded Marie Sklodowska-Curie Fellowship ‘Cathedral Acoustics’.
