in Architecture+Design2 years ago
Hello friends who love the art of architecture and design.

Today I finish the entrance of this great structure called The New Cathedral or Cathedral of Mary Immaculate of Vitoria -Basque Country -Spain.

Hola amigos amantes del arte,de la arquitectura y el diseño.

Hoy termino la entrada de esta gran estructura llamada La catedral nueva o Catedral de María Inmaculada de Vitoria -País Vasco -España .

It is one of the most beautiful Gothic cathedrals that I have seen, haha, you can say that I say it a lot and I always love Gothic art as I say. I have made several entries of this sacred site, at the end I will leave you the links in case you want to see it fully.
Es una de las catedrales góticas más bonitas que he visto, jajaj podres decir que lo digo mucho y es que el arte gótico como os digo siempre me encanta. He hecho varias entradas de este recinto sagrado, al final os dejaré los enlaces por si queréis verla en total plenitud.

But today we are with the cathedral itself.

As I mentioned, it is Gothic from the 19th century
Located in a garden and surrounded by green trees and a relaxing environment almost for meditation.

Pero hoy estamos con la catedral en sí.

Como os comenté es Gótica del siglo XIX
Ubicada en un jardín y rodeada de verdes árboles y un ambiente de descanso casi para la meditación.

She is already of age built in 1907, it is almost new for what we are used to in Spain. It is also an unfinished Cathedral, the gossips say that it is that they ran out of money to finish it, others that as the capital already had a cathedral it was not worth continuing to build.
Ella ya es mayor de edad construida en 1907, es casi nueva para lo que estamos acostumbrados en España. También es una Catedral inacabada, las malas lenguas dicen que es que se quedaron sin dinero para terminarla, otros que como ya la capital tenía una catedral no merecía la pena seguir construyendo.

Although unfinished it is a great temple, the more that your eyes fall on it, you cannot take your eyes off it.
Aunque inacabada es un gran templo, más que tu vista caé en ella ya no puedes apartar la vista.

The style is Neo-Gothic since it was the one that dominated at that time since they said that it was more spiritual, I don't know what to say, if it was more spiritual than the romantic or any other style since that is very particular.
El estilo es Neogótico ya que era el que dominaba en esa época ya que decían que era más espiritual, yo hay no sé qué decir, si era más espiritual que el romántico o cualquier otro estilo ya que eso es muy particular.

The work was put out to competition and the winners were Javier Luque and Julián Apraiz. But like any construction of great magnitude, it was built in several phases.
Se sacó la obra a concurso y los ganadores fueron Javier Luque y Julián Apraiz. Pero como toda construcción de gran magnitud se construyó en varias fases.

The works began in 1907 and in 1914 it was paralyzed since the budget was widely spent and the coffers of Vitoria did not have money to continue (as things have changed, now the budgets are doubled and tripled and nothing happens)
Las obras empezaron en 1907 y en 1914 se paralizo ya que el presupuesto se pasaba ampliamente y las arcas de vitoria no tenían dinero para seguir.( como han cambiado las cosas, ahora se doblan y triplican los presupuestos y no pasa nada)

The skeleton was covered by nature, we had a black era of war between brothers the worst war that a country can have a civil war.
El esqueleto se cubrió por la naturaleza, tuvimos una era negra de guerra entre hermanos la peor guerra que puede tener un país una guerra civil.

IMG_7466 copia.jpg

After this disaster the works began again and little by little it began to have a body.
Después de este desastre las obras empezaron de nuevo y poco a poco empezó a tener cuerpo.

From its measurements I will say that it is large 118 from the portico to the apse.

At 35 meters high, it is one of the largest in Spain.

De sus medidas dire que es grande 118 del pórtico al ábside.

Con sus 35 metros de altura es una de las más grandes de España.

IMGP5400 copia.jpg

With a total area of 5,750 square meters, being able to shelter 1,500 souls. I can't imagine so many people inside.
Con una superficie total de 5.750 metros cuadrado, pudiendo dar cobijo a 1500 almas. no me puedo imaginar tantas personas en su interior.

These are times of pandemic and when we visited it there were not many of us so it was a good moment to admire it patiently and marvel at all the details it has.
Son tiempos de pandemia y cuando la visitamos no estábamos muchos así que fue un buen momento para admirarla con paciencia y maravillarse de todos los detalles que tiene.

IMG_7773 copia.jpg

IMGP5406 copia.jpg

As we have already seen its facade, we go inside.

Through the portico, with three pointed arches, slender and beautiful. The central one is the largest giving more importance to the entrance, above a large stained glass rose window and topped with a cross adorned with a dome.

Como ya hemos visto su fachada pasamos al interior.

Por el pórtico, con tres arcos apuntados, esbeltos y bellos. El central es el más grande dando más importancia a la entrada, encima un gran rosetón de vidriera y rematada con una cruz adornada con cimborrio.

Its Latin cross floor plan, when you put your feet on its marble floor, you feel welcomed by the beauty and peace that you breathe.
Su planta en cruz latina, cuando pones los pies en su suelo de mármol, te sientes acogido por la belleza y la paz que se respira.

I always kneel when I enter I am a Christian but at the same time I am a lover of photography and I cannot pass this shot.

From the ground you can see the pulpit on the horizon a meter and a half from the ground with red marble, the light enters through some stained glass windows that if the accounts are 13 stained glass windows, 13 is my favorite number and they love so much detail in the glass of colors glued to each other by lead creating religious figures.

Siempre me arrodillo cuando entro soy cristiana pero a la vez soy amante de la fotografía y no puedo pasar esta toma.

Desde el suelo se aprecia el pulpito en el horizonte a metro y medio del suelo con mármol rojo, la luz entra por unas vidrieras que si las cuentas son 13 vidrieras, el 13 es mi numero favorito y ellas me encantan tanto detalle en el cristal de colores pegados uno a otros por plomo creando figuras religiosas.

The columns, I did not count them but there are many that collect the entire surface and at their sides the seven apsidal chapels.
Las columnas, no las conté pero son muchas que recogen toda la superficie y a sus lados las siete capillas absidiales.

IMG_7642 copia.jpg
It also has a space inside the nave for a museum, where religious works that appeared in other small churches in surrounding towns are exhibited.

También tiene un espacio dentro de la nave para un museo, donde exponen las obras religiosas que aparecieron en otras pequeñas iglesias de pueblos de alrededor.

Now as we see the photographs I will explain how little I understand and how much I felt.
Ahora según veamos las fotografías os iré explicando lo poco que entiendo y lo mucho que sentí.

IMG_7653 copia.jpg

On the façade I was admired by its gargoyles, demons man and animals.
En la fachada quede admirada por sus gárgolas, demonios hombre y animales.

The unfinished facade, can you imagine its greatness if it had its towers?
La fachada sin terminar ¿imagináis su grandeza si tuviera sus torres?

Its crypt, a work of art for sight and meditation.

In the center there is no dome that is replaced by ribs forming an eight-pointed star.

The pulpit 350 square meters of red marble as I said and a gold of Canons, made of wood, from the 16th century, with a set of stained glass windows in the background

I don't know what else to tell you and repeating it seems wrong to me, so I leave you more details so that you yourself could appreciate the architectural art of this unfinished cathedral.

Hello friend, thank you very much for your words and for paying and having some time for this post Happy Thursday

Always my pleasure

That is fairly new for that area of Spain but WOW such an amazing cathedral I love the gothic style also thanks for sharing with us all these great shots and info on it and have a great day

hello if it is new for what we usually have, that is why it is so well preserved and so beautiful, the gothic is my favorite, with its tall spiky columns and pointed ends
It was a great moment that having it only 100 kilometers from home I had never visited it
Happy Thursday

Waoh is really beautiful this great work , I love gothic architecture because it carries so many details that you never end up appreciating the greatness and beauty of the work . Very good your publication

Hello friend, if the gothic is special, I took many photos and I'm sure I will leave a lot unseen, it is an explosion of beauty and details
Thank you very much for having time for my cathedral and I encourage you to comment
be welcome
Happy Thursday

With pleasure friend, when there are so majestic architectural works, the photos are small and it is difficult to choose which is the best, because they are all beautiful, keep doing that great job.😊

🌹😀

Hello, friend @txatxy. Magnificent cathedral! It's a pity that religious building is incomplete and lacks the necessary funding for their marvelous completion. It could have been as glorious as that scaled model you've shown here. The Gothic style is one of the most ornate signatures of classical architecture, and perhaps time will tell when that project would reach its full fruition. Let's hope and pray that there would be generous benefactors who would help in its total rejuvenation. Miracles happen every single day!

Hello dear
If a pity but it will not end, I think since it is not established, it will stay like that or as you say, a miracle, who knows?
I only know that it is beautiful and that you would stay there for hours observing all the details.
I took a lot of pictures but it seemed too much to put more haha.
the truth is that he left a good taste in my mouth and that I had fun teaching it here.
I have it 100 kilometers away and I did not know it, many times what we have closer to unnoticed.
happy thursday and smile that life is beautiful
I can only ask for a little more time to socialize, which is difficult for me with life haha
Kisses

Yes, that's true. Even though that cathedral is not complete, you had the time of your life with the most awesome experience of marveling at its fabulous architectural details. At least you were also able to maintain a big smile despite the incomplete building haha. 😁 Thanks so much for constantly sharing remarkable content about Spanish architecture and other beloved landmarks from your region. Stay safe always. Happy weekend friend! 😊

It's very beautiful .and you explain well

hello
thank you very much it is a pleasure that you are here

You have definitely made a wonderful post. Thank you very much for showing this beautiful work with details and quality of captures, it perfectly highlights its magnitudes and its elaborate work in detail. Very nice work my friend ;)

Hola guapa
Perdona la tardanza pero el día no tiene suficientes horas.
Creo que he reflejado lo encantada que quede con ella, me impresiono muchísimo, sé que no es antigua para las que tenemos en nuestro país, pero las gárgolas tan perfectas, la cripta misteriosa y bella y la catedral el interior una belleza digna de cualquier película.
Te la recomiendo si pasas por aquí.
Feliz domingo amiga


Hello Beautiful
Sorry for the delay but the day does not have enough hours.
I think I have reflected how delighted I was with it, I was very impressed, I know that it is not old for the ones we have in our country, but the gargoyles so perfect, the mysterious and beautiful crypt and the cathedral inside, a beauty worthy of any movie .
I recommend it if you pass through here.
Happy sunday friend
