RE: Asturian Pre-Romanesque Architecture: San Salvador de Valdedios

in Architecture+Design4 years ago

Indeed. Since time immemorial, sacred buildings of ancient times have always adhered to strong metaphor plus symbolic imagery, spatial organization, and ornamentation to depict certain meanings that support religious beliefs. These ritualistic customs most likely must have also played a crucial role in the otherwise mysterious elements of your featured architecture here. Sometimes, I'd prefer it to remain that way - be a mystery to continuously intrigue our hungry fascination for the unknown. Looking forward to your upcoming mystifying stories. Cheers! 😊
