%X This article offers a point of view about the role that the History of Art is currently playing in the study of the Architecture of Late Antiquity and Middle Ages. It is discussed how the Archaeology of Architecture has tried to claim scientific competence over this topic of study partly by simplifying the theoretical foundations of the Art History. This academic field has been somewhat reduced exclusively to the category of an idealist, typological discourse, as if based in old-fashioned assumptions coming from 19th-century academic traditions. The analysis and interpretation of a building as a vertical archaeological site does not provide all the answers about its historical and ideological motivations. The Art History may help to obtain more answers. The absence of the Art Historian in administrative commissions deprives society of an efficient and relevant knowledge. The art historian＊s task has been systematically underestimated as that of an epidermic aesthete, even when his compromise with the heritage legacy of our society is incorruptible. Architectural Archaeologists and Architectural Historians share a same topic, but the terms of the relationship among both of them are those of a dispute to obtain quotas of power and intervention. Which horizon are professionals and academics of historical architecture heading for?. Este art赤culo pondera la situaci車n actual de la Historia del Arte ante el estudio de la arquitectura hist車rica tardoantigua y medieval. Se reflexiona sobre la leg赤tima reivindicaci車n de la Arqueolog赤a de la Arquitectura, de su solvencia cient赤fica. Se discute en qu谷 medida ese proceso ha prosperado, en parte, paralelamente a la simplificaci車n de las bases conceptuales de la Historia del Arte. Sin justificaci車n, algunos siguen tach芍ndola hoy de discurso idealista y tipol車gico, como si sus presupuestos fueran a迆n decimon車nicos. Como es l車gico, el an芍lisis e interpretaci車n  arqueol車gicas  de un edificio, o  yacimiento vertical , no proporciona todas las respuestas sobre las causas eficientes -hist車ricas e ideol車gicas- que lo motivaron. La Historia del Arte puede contribuir a incrementar ese arsenal de respuestas. Sin embargo, su ausencia en muchos encargos administrativos est芍 privando a la sociedad de un conocimiento eficiente y relevante. La tarea del historiador del arte ha sido subestimada. Se le reprocha actuar como un esteta epid谷rmico, a迆n cuando resulta insobornable su compromiso con el legado patrimonial de esta sociedad. Arque車logos e Historiadores del Arte compartimos en ocasiones un mismo objeto de estudio. Sin embargo,
