G-spaces are present whenever symmetries are relevant in physics. After a short introduction to this subject, spontaneous symmetry breaking in elementary particle physics is considered from this point of view. Kaluza-Klein theory is discussed in a purely geometrical formulation. Some results in connection with the geometrical compactification scheme are presented.
