Собор -базилица Святой Марии -это римско-католическая церковь в Сиутаделле де Менорке , на острове Менорка , на Балеарских островах , Испания . Он был построен с 1300 по 1362 год в каталонском готическом стиле. Он был уволен и осквернен, по крайней мере, дважды, в 1558 году османами и в 1936 году во время гражданской войны в Испании и восстановил оба раза.
История
[ редактировать ]Король Альфонсо III из Арагона завоевал остров в 1287 году и приказал строительству церкви на месте старой мечети . [ 2 ]
Строительство началось в 1300 году и было закончено в 1362 году, создав здание каталонского готического стиля и известно шириной нефа , окруженного шестью часовнями с каждой стороны. [ Цитация необходима ] Пятисторонняя апсида ориентирована на восток.
После осквернения и опустошения собора Османскими турками империю под адмиралом османского флота Пиали Баджа в 1558 году и обрушения хранилищ Апсии в 1626 году, ущерб был быстро отремонтирован в оригинальном стиле.
In 1795, with the restoration of the old bishopric of Menorca (which had existed at start of the 5th century) the parish church of Ciutadella came to be the cathedral of the new diocese.[clarification needed]
Under Bishop Juano, the main façade was rebuilt in 1813 in a neoclassical style, contrasting with the Gothic style of the building, while the restored side door called the Porta de la Llum ("Portal of the Light") keeps some of its medieval ornamentation.
In the interior, the baroque chapel of the Angelus dates from the start of the 17th century with exquisitely-carved columns.
The cathedral was sacked and desecrated in the first days of the Spanish Civil War in 1936, but was restored in its current form by Bishop Bartolomé Pascual between 1939 and 1941. During this work, the Quire was moved from the nave to its current location in the apse.
Interior
[edit]
The great altar is a marble monolith covered by a 15-metre-high canopy. At the back of the apse, under an image of the Virgin in the mystery of the presentation of Jesus in the temple, is found the episcopal throne, made with Roman marble blessed by Pope Pius XII to signify the links of faith and devotion of this church of Menorca to St. Peter's Basilica. In 1953 Pope Pius XII gave the cathedral the title of minor basilica.
From 1987, the seventh centennial of the conquest of Menorca by the Crown of Aragon, a new plan was undertaken for the restoration and development of the cathedral.
