During this period, there is a striking dynamism in the defi- Rnition of original plans, new building solutions and in the first architectural sculpture ex- periments, especially in the regions of Burgundy, Poitou, Auvergne (France) and Catalonia (Spain). However, it is between 1060 and 1080 that Romanesque architecture consolidates its main techni- cal and formal innovations. According to Barral i Altet, the plans of the Romanesque churches, despite their diversity, are well defined around 1100; simultaneously, sculpture invades the building, covering the capitals and decorating façades and cloisters. The Romanesque has been regarded as the first European style. While it is certain that Romanesque architecture and arts are a common phenomenon to the European kingdoms of that period, the truth is that one of its main stylistic characteristics is exactly its regional diversity. It is from this standpoint that we should understand Portuguese Romanesque architecture, which developed in Portugal from the late 11th century on- wards.

    PORTO & NORTH PORTO José Carvalho/dreamstime.com José PORTO & NORTH PORTO PORTO & NORTH Luisafonso/dreamstime.com 1 This region includes the Douro valley and part of the mountainous areas surrounding it and can be divided into two major zones. José Manuel José Firstly, there is the coastal area, which includes the Porto Metropolitan CMG/Ppacheco Area and all its satellite cities and the Minho, the greenest area in Portugal, where rainfall is high and natural sanctuaries such as the Peneda-Gerês National Park can be found in the mountains. Essentially, the Minho is a very green area where the mountains are protected by a layer of forest land and vegetation. The other area, through which the River Douro runs, bristles with mountain ranges and is called Trás-os-Montes (literally, “behind or beyond the mountains”). It starts in the city of Vila Real and extends northwards and eastwards as far as Spain. It is a rugged area where nature is relatively wild, yet in the northern interior there is also something of the Upper Alentejo region, where the sparse trees, olive plantations and cork oaks give it a 3 Mediterranean feel. One of the most famous wines in the world has, for centuries, been produced in the Douro valley. The vines are grown in terraces cut into the 2 rocky schist and granite slopes where machinery cannot reach and they can only be tended by hand, as has been the practice for generations. The River Douro cuts deep into the landscape and it is not unusual to find high plains followed by ravines where the river below plunges onwards towards the sea.

  • The Coimbra See and Its Chancery in Medieval Times
    The Coimbra See and its Chancery in Medieval Times Maria do Rosário Barbosa Morujão University of Coimbra [email protected] Abstract This article seeks to resume the main conclusions of the author’s Ph.D. thesis on the Coimbra See as an institution and a chancery from 1080 to 1318. The institutional approach, examining the evolution of the history of the diocese and its bishops, the organisation of the chapter and the government of the diocese, establishes a context for the study of the cathedral chancery, seeking to discover not only the charters produced at that writing office and their composition, writing and practices of validation, but also the human side of the scribes who worked there. Keywords Portugal, Medieval History, Diplomatic history, Palaeography, Sigillography, Cathedral, Bishop, Chapter, Chancery Resumo Este artigo resume as principais conclusões da tese de doutoramento da autora, na qual é analisada a Sé de Coimbra enquanto instituição e chancelaria, desde 1080 a 1318. A Sé é estudada do ponto de vista institucional, abordando-se a evolução da história da diocese e dos seus bispos, a organização do cabido e o governo da diocese. Esta análise contextualiza o estudo da chancelaria da catedral, que procura conhecer não apenas os actos escritos nela produzidos e as práticas de redacção, escrita e validação seguidas nesse centro de produção documental, mas também o quadro humano dos escribas que nele trabalhavam. Pala vras-chave Portugal; História Medieval; Diplomática; Paleografia; Sigilografia; Catedral; Bispo; Cabido; Chancelaria The purpose of this article is to present the main conclusions of my Ph.D. thesis entitled The Coimbra See: the institution and the chancery (1080-1318), which was defended at Coimbra University in July 2005.

  • The Spiritual Quest: Europe’S Common Sacred Ground (An Historic Overview)
    artes e humanidades Cristina Carvalho • The spiritual quest: europe’s common sacred ground (an historic overview) The spiritual quest: Europe’s common sacred ground (an historic overview)1 Cristina Carvalho Escola Superior de Hotelaria e Turismo do Estoril Resumo A procura espiritual da Humanidade permanence activa e as perspectivas académicas sobre o fenómeno são múltiplas. Na Europa a reverência a poderes supremos começou em grutas e seria depois exibida em estruturas exteriores. Mais tarde, os Gregos Antigos deslocar-se-iam a competições atléticas onde os deuses eram adorados, mas o Cristianismo apagaria as referências pagãs do Império Romano. Quanto à Península Ibérica do século XII, São Bernardo auxiliou a fundação de Portugal, enquanto crentes viajavam até Santiago de Compostela. Durante as Descobertas, o porto de Lisboa acolheu tesouros ultramarinos, mas também a Peste. Duas devoções surgiram para implorar a clemência de Deus: a peregrinação à Guia, em Cascais, e a procissão à Senhora da Saúde. No século XVIII, D. João V patrocinaria santuários marianos em Lamego, na Nazaré e no Cabo Espichel, mas só na ditadura de Salazar erguer-se-ia um santuário de dimensão global, em Fátima. Desde a década de 60 que a Europa testemunha o revivalismo pagão que transformou sítios arqueológicos da UNESCO em templos New Age. Hoje, o adorador virtual assiste a missas online em portáteis com placa wireless, prova de que a procura se mantém, sobrepondo-se aos meios empregues. Palavras-Chave História, Turismo, Demanda (Espiritual), Europa, Adorador virtual Abstract Mankind’s spiritual quest is still on and the academic perspectives upon the matter are manifold.

  • Choir of the Braga Cathedral
    Proceedings of the 2nd ICAUD International Conference in Architecture and Urban Design Epoka University, Tirana, Albania, 08-10 May 2014 Paper No. 188 (The number assigned by the OpenConf System) Geometry and Construction of Ribbed Vaults: Choir of the Braga Cathedral Claudia Calabria Department of Civil Engineering and Architecture Polytechnic University of Bari Via Orabona, 4 – Bari (Italy) [email protected] ABSTRACT The study takes into account the choir vault of the Braga Cathedral as a paradigmatic example of the evolution process of Portuguese multi-ribbed vaults. In fact, it can be considered the first step of the features transmigration occurred throughout the Iberian Peninsula and evolved in a continuous transformation from building to building. The stylistic/typological interpretation, as it is often conducted, is not exhaustive for what concerns stone vaults: conception and meaning of subtended space, construction processes and methods of form definition are essential to read the structure. The study of late Gothic ribbed vaults fits into the research field of structural interpretation from the perspective of “form generators”: this type of construction realizes a strict correspondence between the two aspects, materializing system stress lines through the rib. We analyze one of the first work attributed to Joao de Castilho. The cabeceira of the Braga Cathedral clearly shows traits inherited from ribbed vaults with petal flowers design, typical of Seville and Burgos areas. The various aspects that define the shape are mutually interpenetrating and inseparable: geometric definition, surfaces analysis, underlying spatiality and, finally, the way in which these three are connected to the constructive process. The possibilities of the ribbed lattices are achieved here by a sort of "sphericity research", as if to mediate Gothic reminiscences with the desire to absorb new Renaissance influences.
