A series on Romanesque Churches...Don't ask me where they are. I just scrounge through the internet looking for nice pics. I very much like the multiple apses and extending chapels. It gives the whole thing a nice complexity and randomness. The tower was probably added in the Gothic period.
This one is San Millán (12th century) in Segovia, Spain.

I grew up in the parish of St. John in Des Moines, Iowa, now a basilica and on the national registry. It was built in the 1920s in the Lombardy Romanesque style and could not be duplicated these days, I wager. I wish I could attach a picture of it but recommend that readers "Google" it for more info.
ReplyDeleteLovely.
ReplyDeleteI also like the Trash and Truth post that came through my Reader feed. I wanted to share it which is how I realized you'd taken it down. Of course, it is your prerogative to reconsider. I just wanted you to know I liked it. :)
Trash and Truth is being re-written. There were some logical fallacies in it.
ReplyDeleteWhat is chust?
ReplyDelete"This one is San Millán (12th century) in Segovia, Spain."
ReplyDeleteThat makes sense: the tower roof looks to be a copy of the ones on the Escorial, built in the 16th century.
What is chust? Just another way of saying "just".
ReplyDeleteThis is nice but what happened to the Father Ted: what do you want a teddy bear or a Catholic priest? posting?
ReplyDeleteI'll agree with Arnold, St John's is wonderful.
ReplyDeleteAlthough I'm still partial to St Francis Xavier's Basilica In Dyersville, Ia.
