Sant Miquel de Cruïlles monastery and village around it. Comarques Gironines, Catalonia.

This monastery was built around the year 1035, and was abandoned after 1835 with the government confiscations of church possessions. As a result, some parts of the monastery have been completely lost, such as the cloister. The little village that grew around the monastery is still inhabited.

Basílica de Sant Miquel de Palma, Mallorca, 09-12-23

[negreabsolut]

Una variació del motiu grealenc de les pintures romàniques del Pireneu català del segle XII; amb una Mare de Déu sostenint un grial amb la mà esquerra. En aquest cas, però, el grial no és pas un gresal sinó una corona i, com en les altres pintures amb la mateixa narrativa grealenca, la Mare de Déu no toc el grial amb la mà nua, sinó protegint-se amb el seu mantell. Les pintures són datades del segle XII (dels anys 1100s), i l'autor n'és el Mestre d'Urgell. Actualment són conservades al MNAC.

Cardona 2024 (2) (3) (4) (5) by SBA73

Via Flickr:

(1) Beautiful view of the old medieval town of Cardona, with the gothic church of Sant Miquel on top. It was then a rich place due to its salt mines, the most important in medieval Catalonia. (2) Cardona's Devil's Bridge is not as famous as Martorell's (also in Catalonia), but it is more mysterious. Date of XV Century and it seems that it was never completed, although some think that it was and that it was later destroyed by a flood. Other stories say that it was sabotaged because the lords of Cardona wanted to charge a toll and this outraged the people of the area. (3) View of the bulwarks of Cardona castle (in fact fort), looking northwest. This bulwark is Santa Maria's. (4) Garita de llevant. / Easternmost bartizan.

Solsona Cathedral, Spain (No. 6)

There is evidence of a pre-Romanesque temple dating 977. the Romanesque church was consecrated in 1070 and it is stated that it was “a most famous temple in the entire world”. From this time the three apses, the bell tower, some pieces from the cloister, the cellar and the canons’ dining hall, (these days used for different events) have been preserved.

The cathedral today is Gothic and it was begun at the end of the 13th century and finished in the 17th century and finished in the 17th century. On the left of the transept there is the chapel of Mercè with a Baroque altar from the artist Carles Morató. On the right there is the venerated image of la Marededéu del Claustre from the 12th century and catalogued as one of the most important Catalan Romanesque sculptures.

It is easy to imagine the upheaval that the creation of a bishopric in Solsona in 1593 meant for the beautiful medieval Collegiate Church of Santa Maria, which was now to become a cathedral, particularly in regard to renewal of ornamental elements and the making of new altarpieces.

THE HIGH ALTAR (DEDICATED TO THE VIRGIN MARY)

The high altar dedicated to the Virgin Mary was commissioned from the Majorcan sculptor Miquel Vidal (1634), but it was not completed, except for six large panels sculpted in low relief from the predella, which are conserved in the Solsona Diocesan and Regional Museum. Nor does anything remain of the second high altar, commissioned from Jacint Morató in 1730: the dreadful fire caused by Napoleon’s troops in 1810 destroyed it along with many other works. Following this disaster a new high altar was made (1854-1856), the third. However, it was short-lived, as it too was burnt during the Spanish Civil War. Fortunately, six of eight paintings by the distinguished Nazarene artist Claudi Lorenzale survived.

THE CHAPEL OF OUR LADY OF MERCY AND THE SACRISTY FURNISHINGS (TWO BAROQUE WORKS THAT SURVIVED THE FIRE OF 1810 AND THE SPANISH CIVIL WAR)

Only two sets of works from the modern period escaped the fire of 1810 and the later ravages of the Spanish Civil War on the cathedral. These are the Chapel of Our Lady of Mercy and the walnut cupboard and drawers in the canons’ sacristy. The first contains the dynamic altarpiece sculpted around 1750 by Carles Morató, although the sculptural elements were lost. The sacristy holds a beautiful cupboard with painted doors and the reliquary busts of Saint Victoria and Saint Secunda, of fine quality. Unfortunately, the artist is unknown. However we do know that the author of the colourful doors of the reliquary cupboard was Antoni Bordons.

THE CHAPEL OF OUR LADY OF THE CLOISTER

The Chapel of Our Lady of the Cloister (1727-1776), designed to house the prized Romanesque carving, was destroyed on several occasions. Its complex construction, which was also to have an altarpiece and mural paintings, was commissioned from Jacint and Carles Morató—who worked in collaboration with sculptor Josep Sunyer i Raurell. It disappeared due to damage incurred in 1810, 1822 and 1936, but from old descriptions one gathers that it must have been a most impressive example of Catalan Baroque.

OTHER NOTEWORTHY ELEMENTS FROM THE MODERN PERIOD

Elements that should not escape our notice are the modest baroque reredos at the foot of the nave, the work of Isidre Clusa, classical in style and decorated with naive reliefs showing from the life of Saint Martin, originally from the Church of Sant Martí de Riner, although it is disconcerting to see it now topped by a Saint Michael; and the fine groups of sculptures decorating the cathedral’s late eighteenth-century facades, with representations of ‘The Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary’ (1768) and ‘The Ecstasy of Saint Augustine’ (1780).

The old monastery Sant Miquel dels Reis in the city of València (Valencian Country).

This Renaissance-style monastery was built in the 16th and 17th centuries, with one of the earliest retable-façades in the Kingdom of Valencia (first photo). It was built on the place where the Medieval Sant Bernat de Rascanya monastery had previously stood, so some of the old walls of Sant Bernat de Rascanya were kept standing and re-used as part of the new Sant Miquel dels Reis.

Throughout its history, the building has had different uses. It was built to be a monastery, where the monks lived in from 1536 to 1835, year in which the state's confiscations of church property meant that religious orders had to leave many buildings, which would be sold to the public. Then, its artworks were sent to Valencia's Fine Arts Museum, and the books to the University of Valencia. The building was auctioned and sold to a man who wanted to demolish it to sell the material it's built of, but the Valencia City Council and the Acadèmia de Belles Arts de Sant Carles (Valencian fine arts academy) managed to stop that. Instead, the building became a refuge for beggars, a women's prison, and a storage house. In 1874, it was completely turned into a prison. But the worst came after the Spanish Civil War (1936-1939), when the fascist dictatorship that emerged victorious from the war turned this building in a prison for political opponents and one of the largest repression centres in the city. It was used as a prison until 1966, and was abandoned. Restoration work started in 1997, and since the year 2000 it is the seat of the Valencian National Library (Biblioteca Valenciana).

Un viatge frustat dins Aigua de mar

Tamariu, de mar estant, és la pura simplicitat, sembla una estampa japonesa. El panorama de terres que la platja té al fons és d'una dolçor mòrbida, té un perfil suau i vague, un batec greu.

Epitafi a l’Hermós: Entre 1917 i …visqué en aquestes solituds allunyat dels homes i de les dones, Sebastià Puig, conegut per l’Hermós, analfabet, home feliç i hospitalari, pescador, mariner, caçador, gran cuiner. Tu que passes has de saber que si no ha tornat és perquè no ha pogut, o perquè l’han enredat com un xino. (Josep Pla)

“Si feia mal temps a mar, sortien a matar un conill. Sabien els claps de rovellons; collien els primers espàrrecs; coneixien on creixia una herba tendra, on madurava el gotim de raïm, on penjava la figa de coll de dama. Endevinaven el temps, miraven el cel, espiaven la mar, sentien el vent al clatell, venien un peix, polsaven una vela, seguien un núvol, ensumaven un rastre, feien pronòstics prudents i enraonats. Tenien el paladar fi i tot ho volien fresc. Cuinaven com els àngels i feien uns sofregits delicats. Tenien enginy a la mà, els sentits desperts, sentien créixer l’herba, dormien amb un ull obert… No hi ha altra cultura que aquesta, en aquest món. La resta és dolor, neguit i cendra.”
