In this paper were studied the Mexican conventual temples built in the xvi century, roofed totally with ribbed vaults. The objective consisted on identifying its geometric characteristics and the origin of the line of the structural elements that conforms these temples. For this were chosen four conventual churches in function of the relevance of their geometric and constructive characteristics for their structural behavior, and for their period of construction. Starting from treaties of construction of the time it was identified the geometry and the line of the vaults and some basic aspects of the dimensioning of their buttresses. This has served in order to establish a base for the study of the limits continued by their manufacturers in the search of guaranteeing the stability of these constructions, as well as it stops later studies of their structural behavior.
