Iglesia de Santo Tomé, Toledo

Кастилия-Ла-Манча

The Iglesia de Santo Tomé is a church located in the historical center of the city of Toledo , and was founded after the reconquest of this city by King Alfonso VI of León. It appears quoted in the 12th century, as constructed on the site of an old mosque of the 11th century. This mosque, together with other mosques in the city, were used as Christian churches without major changes, since in the taking of the city there was no destruction of buildings. However, at the beginning of the 14th century, being in a ruinous state the church was totally rebuilt in charge of Gonzalo Ruiz de Toledo, Lord of Orgaz, and the old minaret of the mosque was transformed into a bell tower in Mudéjar style. Its fame is mainly due to the fact that it contains the painting The Burial of the Count of Orgaz by El Greco, which can be seen by accessing the back of church.

Кастилия-Ла-Манча

The Santo Domingo el Antiguo Altarpiece is a 1577-1579 altarpiece by El Greco, painted for the Monastery of Santo Domingo el Antiguo in Toledo, Spain. The artist had just arrived in Spain and this was his first major commission there, gained thanks to Diego de Castilla, who he had met in Rome. The total commission was for nine canvases, seven for the high altar and two for side altars. The high altarpiece was made up of an upper main canvas , a lower main canvas , four flanking panels of saints and a small painting on the tympanum between the two main paintings . Of these, only the original panels of St John the Baptist and St John the Evangelist remain in situ, along with the painting for the right-hand side altarpiece, Resurrection. Assumption is now in the Art Institute of Chicago and Holy Trinity in the Prado Museum. The rest are replaced in the church by copies.

Miraflores Charterhouse

Бургос

Miraflores Charterhouse is an Isabelline style charterhouse, or Carthusian monastery of the Order of the Carthusians, built on a hill about three kilometres from the center of the Spanish city of Burgos, autonomous community of Castile and León. Its origin dates back to 1442, when King John II of Castile donated a hunting lodge outside Burgos, which had been erected by his father Henry III of Castile "the Mourner" in 1401, to the Order of the Carthusians for its conversion into a monastery, thus fulfilling his father's wishes, as stated in his will. A fire in 1452 caused the destruction of the pavilion, and construction of a new building began in 1454. It is this building, which was placed under the patronage of Saint Mary of the Annunciation, which exists today. The construction was commissioned to Juan de Colonia, and was continued after his death by his son, Simón de Colonia, who completed the structure in 1484 at the behest of Queen Isabella I of Castile, surviving daughter of kings John II of Castile and Isabella of Portugal, whose impressive buried are housed in the monastery. It is a late-Gothic jewel, and its highlights include the church, whose Isabelline style western facade is decorated with the coats-of-arms of its founders. The monastery consists of a single nave with stellar vault and side chapels, and is topped by a polygonal apse.

Бургосский собор

Бургос

Кафедра́льный собо́р в го́роде Бу́ргос — собор Богоматери в городе Бургосе, провинция Бургос, Испания. Кафедральный собор архиепархии Бургоса. Был заложен в 1221 году как главная достопримечательность королевства Кастилия. Строительство завершилось в XV—XVI веках с добавлением шпилей фасада и капеллы. Собор является наиболее ярким памятником испанской готики. Его гигантская аркада стала атрибутом храмов испаноязычного мира . Строительство собора началось 20 июля 1221 года указом короля Кастилии Фердинанда III на месте бывшего романского собора. Алтарь был освящён в 1260 году, после чего на протяжении 200 лет строительные работы не проводились. Завершение собора относят к 1567 году, когда был закончен шпиль над основным перекрытием. Главный фасад собора, большая часть которого построена в XIII веке, ориентирован на запад и посвящён Богоматери. Самый древний фасад — южный , в скульптурной форме на нём изображён Христос в окружении апостолов и ангелов. Восточные апсиды были построены во времена ренессанса . В одной из них расположена Капелла коннетаблей, где захоронены коннетабль Веласко и его потомки. В 1919 году в соборе был захоронен испанский национальный герой Сид Кампеадор и его жена Донья Химена. Здесь же с 2007 года находится Тисона — меч, предположительно принадлежавший Сиду. В 1984 году собор был объявлен ЮНЕСКО памятником Всемирного наследия. В 2012 году была выпущена памятная монета номиналом 2 евро тиражом в 8 млн экземпляров с изображением Бургосского собора.
