"Et occidetur virtute Domini Antichristus a Mikaele arcangelo". Paisaje y escatología en Sant Miquel de Llíria (s. XIV d. C.)

2015

El presente articulo intenta determinar las razones por las que el santuario de Sant Miquel de Llíria, uno de los más importantes de la actual provincia de Valencia, se consagró al arcàngel guerrero. Se estudia para ello la historia de su culto en Occidente, haciendo hincapié en aspectos como su relación con los lugares elevados y la frecuente proximidad de sus santuarios con aquellos dedicados a la Virgen.

Metodología para la mejora acústica de recintos de culto. Aplicación en la Catedral de Valencia

2021

[ES] Los recintos de culto son espacios patrimoniales de gran valor cultural, artístico y arquitectónico. Asimismo, en ellos tienen lugar eventos, integrantes de su patrimonio cultural inmaterial, donde la transmisión del sonido es un factor preferente. Por todo ello, resulta relevante garantizar un adecuado acondicionamiento acústico de los recintos de culto para sus dos usos fundamentales, la música religiosa y la palabra. Para ello, se ha establecido una metodología compuesta por las fases de medición acústica, estudio del comportamiento acústico del recinto, levantamiento y calibración del modelo acústico y simulaciones acústicas. Al tratarse de edificios protegidos, las propuestas de i…

Nuovi spazi liturgici e antica sacralità nel cuore del Mediterraneo

2017

The new St Gregory’s Church, built in Agrigento on the edge of the Temples Valley, is immersed in a landscape of ancient sacredness, where a millennial Sicilian history embrace cultures and religions stratified in the heart of the Mediterranean Sea. Contemporary architecture establishes a solid dialogue between faith, liturgy and art, in accordance with the teachings of the Second Vatican Council. Close to the remains of a Cretan village, the new architecture compares with the Doric Temples, which they are an indispensable figurative reference. The spatial articulation and urban references, which see it strongly anchored in the coastal scenery, write transcendental spirituality that introdu…

Assessing the territorial influence of an Iberian worship site. The chemical characterisation of the terracotta from the Iron Age sanctuary of La Ser…

2017

This paper presents the study of the prestigious terracotta votive figurines from the Iberian Iron Age sanctuary of La Serreta (Alicante province, Spain) composed of 174 items. Portable X-ray fluorescence (PXRF) was used to identify elemental markers that permit us to observe the differences between local and non-local terracotta figurines and furthermore to evaluate the geographical influence of the La Serreta sanctuary using Principal Component Analysis (PCA). The Partial Least Squares Discriminant Analysis (PLSDA) statistical method was also used to classify the figurines of uncertain geographical origin. The resulting groups were related to typological and stylistic groups of figurines …

The article intends to make a contribution of new documentary references, from the notarial funds of the Valencian archives, in which news about parish crosses and Lignum Crucis from the silversmith center of Valencia during the fourteenth and fifteenth centuries are collected. The importance of these typologies lies in being the main elements of Christian worship, so it was an essential piece in each parish that allowed the provision in them of models of varied typology and functionality; for that reason they are conserved from altar crosses, cross-shaped reliquaries ?known as Lignum Crucis or Veracruz ?to processional crosses, larger and representative of the parish community to which it …

Fontaines (Saône-et-Loire). Place de l’Église [notice archéologique]

2019

Le village actuel de Fontaines, situé à environ 8 km au N.-O. de Chalon-sur-Saône, se développe sur 1,5 km de long selon un unique axe E-O, depuis la montagne Saint-Hilaire à l’ouest, occupée au Néolithique puis durant l’Antiquité tardive et le haut Moyen Âge, jusqu’à l’église paroissiale Saint-Just, à l’est. Malgré une emprise limitée et contrainte par de nombreux réseaux existants, l’opération a permis de documenter l’environnement immédiat de l’église, occupé depuis l’Antiquité jusqu’à nos jours.
