ABSTRACT: The aim of this
review is to highlighte the common aspects between Symmetry in Physics and the
Relativity Theory, particularly Special Relativity. After a brief historical
introduction, emphasis is put on the physical foundations of Relativity Theory
and its essential role in the clarification of many issues related to
fundamental symmetries. Their different connections will be shown from
Classical Mechanics to Modern Particle Physics.
