Abstract
El castillo de Las moradas de santa Teresa ha despertado el interés
de los estudiosos, que han intentado averiguar sus posibles fuentes, y también de algunos artistas, que han ofrecido diversas representaciones gráficas. Este artículo analiza el castillo místico de santa Teresa como laberinto, un símbolo con múltiples valores, sobre todo en la cultura occidental. Este edificio alegórico presenta algunas de las características más destacadas de los laberintos, en concreto de aquellos que solo tienen un camino: la importancia del centro, la dificultad para acceder a él y la transformación del caminante, en este caso el alma humana, hasta la consecución de su meta, la unión con Dios
