Finally some interiors! Looking at these buildings only from the outside it’s like having a nice treasure chest and never open it.
LOL 🙂
Fun fact: the Cathedral of Málaga, officially called "Santa Iglesia Catedral Basílica de la Encarnación", is a Renaissance church featuring Baroque influences. Construction started in the 16th century, but the cathedral remains incomplete. This is because the funds designated for the construction of the south tower were redirected to support the independence of the 13 colonies (the future United States) from Great Britain. As a result, it is popularly known as "La Manquita" (the one-armed lady).
WOW! Thanks! 🙂
En España hay que ver, las catedrales, los palacios y los castillos.
about the star in the cathedral rossette, they are quite common in mediterranean churches, David's star comes later, this is a solomon's seal, we are not quite sure why they used it but we have theories, in the time period we know it was seen as a talisman of protection, so you know to protect the entrance of the temple of God etc., christians do believe in the old testament too so is not that crazy, but we know many of the artisans that made this rossettes were jewish people whom converted to christianism and had a lot of influence and money, so they just probably put it there as a show of power
I see. Thank you!
El cristianismo no es opuesto al judaísmo, es la evolución del judaísmo. Es nuestro antecedente.
Me gusta mucho el interés que tiene en las catedrales, en todo lo bello. Gracias y saludos.😊
Pero el judaísmo sí es opuesto al cristianismo. El catolocismo nació para ser universal, para incluir a todas las razas, etnias y culturas dentro de un mismo proyecto civilizatorio. El judaísmo es racial supremacista, exclusivo para unas pocas etnías que se creen los elegidos por Dios. Eh ahí la gran diferencia. En ese sentido sí son opuestos. El cristianismo es inclusivo y el judaísmo es exclusivo.
In Spain there was a civil war and several bombs fell on the Basilica of Our Lady of the Pilar in Zaragoza. the Virgin is credited with the miracle that they did not explode.
The Virgin was also very important in the war of independence against Napoleon and there is even a very famous song in Spain that says the verse “La virgen del Pilar says that she does not want to be French, she wants to be captain of the Aragonese troops.
Thank you for the information!
Dentro de la basílica del pilar aun hay empotrada en una de sus paredes una bomba que no explotó no la han movido desde que impacto creen que podría explotar al moverla
@@felisaluceroramos9238 - WOW
El Rey David es un personaje del Antiguo Testamento, y por tanto, un personaje dentro de la tradición Católica.
No es raro verlo. En el Colegio de la Salle de San José, al lado de mi casa, un colegio religioso, en las rejas de hierro tienen estrellas de David. Supongo que porque San José era judío, al fin y al cabo.
Thanks for commenting and checking out my videos!
Hola amigo, thanks for your reactions. Jesús was jew from the lineage of David thats why you can find David's Stars in Catholic churches
En la Catedral de Nuestra Señora del Pilar, se pueden ver en el vídeo dos bombas que fueron arrojadas desde aviones por el bando Republicano para destruir la iglesia y que no llegaron a estallar. Lo que se consideró un milagro de la Virgen.
Thank you!
U may also react to The Palacio's Real and El Escorial Monastery interiors, they are just amazing
Hola, la sagrada familia no se considera catedral, es una basilica y Barcelona tiene ya otra catedral tambien muy binita pero no tan majestuoso como la basílica
I think Madrid's cathedral is quite beautiful and elegant, but I wouldn't place it among the top seven in Spain. Of course, Zaragoza's El Pilar wouldn't make the list either. And surely the best one, Toledo, isn't on the list. By the way, the Sagrada Familia in Barcelona is not a cathedral.
I am from Madrid and I think the catedral of Madrid is the whorse of Spain. Good video.
Muy buen video. Un saludo desde Asturias
Howdy from America! Thanks!
Catedrales de Toledo, León, Burgos , impresionantes.
Las bombas que se ven se refiere al lanzamiento de cuatro bombas sobre la Basílica de El Pilar por un avión republicano el 3 de agosto de 1936, pocas semanas después del alzamiento militar que desembocaría en la Guerra civil española. Ninguna de las cuatro bombas llegó a explotar, por lo que los daños al templo fueron menores, aunque las pinturas de la Virgen en gloria y santos mártires de la bóveda del Coreto de la Virgen pintadas por Goya quedaron dañadas irreversiblemente.
Thank you for letting us know!
Lo has explicado mejor que yo :P
Dejar fuera a la catedral de toledo y poner a la sagrada familia y a la almudena, me parece que el del video no entiende de antiguedades.
Pese a no ser catedral La SF es la iglesia más visitada de España.
Very nice video, I told u, the Spanish Cathedrals' interiors are astonishing🇪🇦❤️
Thanks! More to come...
In Spain, have 88 catedrals.
about the Burgos Cathedral:
hat part of the cathedral is dedicated to Mary, with her Jewish origins, represented in the stained glass by the Star of David.
Makes sense to me!
la Sagrada Familia, es una basílica católica de Barcelona (España), diseñada por el arquitecto Antoni Gaudí. Iniciada en 1882, todavía está en construcción.
La Catedral de la Almudena, en Madrid, tiene una vistas mucho mejores que las que ofrece la entrada.
Muy buen trabajo, de todas formas, para que la gente se pueda ir haciendo una pequeña idea de las magníficas catedrales que existen en España.
E insisto, mírate algo respecto al Valle de los Caídos. Es un lugar verdaderamente espectacular y sobrecogedor.
Hello, I recommend that you watch the movie THE WAY starring Martin Sheen, which talks about the Camino de Santiago and you will be able to see that imposing church through a walker like Martin Sheen, an excellent actor who you must surely know very well.
You can’t compares between different Art Styles, Romanic, Gothic, Neoclassical, Barrocco and finally Modernism. The formation in Art , USA is very deficient or not exist. We’re 2nd Human Patrimony, and know separate. Like a mathematical problem , never mixed pears with octopus. Since a city more than 2.000 years old, Heritage’s Patrimony, have a good weekend. NW Spain, Galicia , UE.
i love your videos
@roberbonastre3380 - Well thank you. Very kind.
I'm from Barcelona and nothing compares to the Sagrada Familia. The colums are trees, when the light enters into the windows all the church mix with a lot of different colors. Gaudi is a genius, you understand it when you enter in the sagrada familia. He has a lot of buildings in the city but this basilica is in another level. The colums you are talking about are 140...years old. It will be the highest church in the world.
Donde estén las antiguas catedrales, que se quite la Sagrada Familia de Barcelona.
@@rafaelacevedo5605 no has entrado. Yo he estado en muchas catedrales y te puedo decir que no hay nada comparable. Es otro nivel. Eliminó los contrapuntos y desarrolló una estructura arquitectónica con una técnica increíble que puede aguantar muchísimo peso con menos estructura. La genialidad de todo y los detalles con los que esta hecha no tienen comparación. Cambia los materiales en función del peso que tienen que sostener. Lo de los colores entrando por las vidrieras no lo he visto en ninguna otra iglesia. Y soy de barcelona y aquí hay iglesias en en cada barrio y tenemos “catedrales grandes” como la de Santa Maria del Mar o la catedral de barcelona. Y esta es única. Solo por el tamaño ya te impresiona pero el interior es otro nivel. Eliminó las capillas laterales (de mártires y sufrimiento) cuando entras solo puedes sentirte en paz y emocionarte. Es como estar en un bosque elfica gigante con árboles blancos pero que brillan con miles de colores. No afirmó por afirmar y mira que a mi me gustan las estructuras antiguas, ancestrales. No creo que puedas ser tan rotundo si seguro ni siquiera la has visto en directo. Por cierto, este vídeo está mal, solo hay una catedral por ciudad. Es la sede De la Iglesia en esa ciudad. La Sagrada Familia no es una catedral y se encuentra en la categoría de basílica por lo grande que es. Hay pocas basílicas, concede esta categoría el papa.
Sí... pero construida con grúas. Nada que ver
If you are interested in interesting interiors of churches/cathedrals, it might be worth checking out the Sedlec Ossuary. Its in the Czech Republic, and the entire interior decoration was made using real human bones. Its somewhat on the morbid side, but it's worth checking out. I know you like the big impressive symmetric ones, but it's just something a little different. I'll try to think of some interesting buildings to check out that don't lie in the countries you intend to visit so you don't miss out on them completely. If you get back to checking out castles, I really really recommend looking at Romanian castles. Judging by your videos, I really think they have the kind of castles you would really like.
Oh my. Thanks!
No, Córdoba fue reconquistada por los cristianos en 1236.
No debe extrañar referencias al judaísmo en el cristianismo, ya que el Antiguo Testamento también es parte de la Biblia
In theory the Sagrada Familia will be finished in the next 2 to 3 years.
In theory...
Stendhal moment
'Spain's history dates all the way back to Roman times' It's really offputting when just the first sentence is plain wrong.
Americans watching endless videos of places in Europe is it like the fella who wants to buy a jacket and watches dozens of reviews before? 😁 Man, stop watching videos and take a plane, we're in 2024.
Uh? Not everybody has the money to travel to the other part of the world.
@neiss2 - LOL!
@Ilar-en7lg - or the time...
@@Average_Middle_Aged_American Well yes, or both.
@@Average_Middle_Aged_American 😉
La catedral de León está considerada como una de las cinco más importantes de España por su valor artístico. No tienen ni idea los que han hecho ese video. La catedral de Madrid no tiene gran valor artístico. La Sagrada familia no es una catedral. Y la Basílica del Pilar de Zaragoza tampoco es una de las grandes aunque sea muy bonita.
