Revision Page 2 of 126 INTRODUCTION The National Cultural Heritage Plans are heritage management instruments that define an action methodology and programme interventions to coordinate the actions of various bodies from the Administration on a complex ensemble of cultural assets. The National Plans were launched in the second half of the 1980s once the competences on heritage had been transferred to the Autonomous Communities and a new Historical Heritage Law was in place. The Cathedrals Plan, the first to be launched, began to be drafted in 1987 and was approved in 1990. It was followed by the Plans for Industrial Heritage, Defensive Architecture, Cultural Landscape and Abbeys, Monasteries and Convents in the first decade of the 21st Century. Regulatory framework of reference The legal basis for the national plans is found in Act 16/1985 on Spanish Historical Heritage, which stipulates in its second article that “the State Administration shall adopt the necessary measures to facilitate collaboration with the remainder of public authorities and of these amongst themselves, and to collect and provide as much information as may be necessary”1. It also states that “communication and exchange of action programmes and information relative to Spanish Historical Heritage will be provided by the Heritage Council”2. However, the National Conservation Plan instrument is not defined in the Act. In article thirty-five, the Historical Heritage Act states that “for the protection of the assets comprising Spanish Historical Heritage, and in order to facilitate people’s access to them, foster communication between different services and provide the necessary information for conducting scientific and technical research, National Information Plans on Spanish Historical Heritage will be formulated from time to time”, and attributes the competence for drafting and approving such plans to the Spanish Historical Heritage Council. Moreover, Royal Decree 565 of 24 April 1985, which creates the Institute for the Conservation and Restoration of Cultural Assets, includes among its purposes “the drafting of plans for the conservation and restoration of Spanish Historical Heritage”3. This function has always been maintained in successive decrees of the Ministry of Culture’s functional reorganisation. The National Conservation Plans merge and synthesise the National Information Plans covered by the Historical Heritage Act, which is the competence of the Heritage Council, and the Conservation and Restoration Plans covered by the Decree that created the ICRBC, today the Spanish Cultural Heritage Institute (IPCE). In practice the National Conservation Plans have essentially been instruments for organising the actions of the State Administration, drafted and programmed by 1 Act 16/1985 of 25 June on Spanish Historical Heritage. Article two, section 2 2 Act 16/1985 of 25 June on Spanish Historical Heritage. Article three, section 1 3 Royal Decree 565 of 24 April 1985 National Plan for Abbeys, Monasteries and Convents. Revision Page 3 of 126 the current Spanish Cultural Heritage Institute and approved in the Heritage Council. After two decades of having these management instruments in place, it is time to review their results, analyse their contents, update their proposals and propose new plans for the appropriate conservation of our cultural heritage. OBJECTIVES AND METHOD FOR THE PLAN’S REVISION The Historical Heritage Council, in its session of 11 and 12 March 2010, in Santiago de Compostela, proposed a revision process of the existing National Plans and the creation of new ones. To this end, the Spanish Cultural Heritage Institute made an open call to all Autonomous Communities and received participation proposals from several of them, while also convening the Spanish Episcopal Conference, experts on this issue and technicians from the Institute. A Commission was created to revise the National Plan for Abbeys, Monasteries and Convents, comprised of the following members: AUTONOMOUS COMMUNITIES: - ANDALUSIA: José Cuaresma Pardo, Head of the Historical Heritage Conservation and Works Service. - CASTILE–LA MANCHA: Álvaro Ruiz de la Torre, Technician in the Heritage and Archaeology Service. - LA RIOJA: Mª Nieves González Cabrero, Head of the Heritage Conservation Service. EPISCOPAL CONFERENCE: - Manuel Iñiguez Ruiz de Clavijo, Director of the Secretariat of the Episcopal Heritage Commission. EXTERNAL EXPERTS: - José Félix de Vicente y Rodríguez, Architect. - Javier Campos Fernández de Sevilla, Teacher at Mª Cristina School, El Escorial. - Eduardo Barceló de Torres, Architect. IPCE: - Pedro García Adán, Restorer - Ana Carrassón López de Letona, Restorer - Concepción Cirujano Gutiérrez, Restorer National Plan for Abbeys, Monasteries and Convents. Revision Page 4 of 126 (General National Plans Coordinator) - Mª Pía Timón Tiemblo, Ethnologist (Coordinator of the National Plan for Abbeys, Monasteries and Convents) - Carlos Jiménez Cuenca, Head of the Cultural Assets Intervention Area (Coordinator of the National Plan for Abbeys, Monasteries and Convents) The objective is to analyse the Plan from its inception to the present time to obtain a diagnosis and, on that basis and on this heritage ensemble’s current needs, propose a methodological strategy, programming of actions and execution and monitoring leading to an improvement in the actions on such assets by all the administrations and any other body that participates in the process. In regard to the timeline of the Commission’s activities, and taking into account that the Plan’s revision by

  • The Rule of Ten Virtues of the B.V.M.” Historical Brief
    The Genesis of “The Rule of Ten Virtues of the B.V.M.” Historical Brief Br. Andrew R. Mączyński, MIC Author The Rule of the Ten Virtues of the Most B.V.M., or the Rule of the Ten Pleasures of the Most B.V.M. (Regula Decem Beneplacitorum Beatissimae Virginis Mariae), is one of the few religious rules approved in spite of the decree issued by the IV Lateran Council in 1215. This decree forbade the approval of the newly founded religious orders on any other than one of the previously approved rules. The Rule was composed by a Franciscan, Fr. Gilbert Nicolas, better known as Gabriel Maria, the name he received from Pope Leo X by his brief (breve) of June 11, 1517. By this act, the Pope wished to emphasize the special devotion that Fr. Gilbert had for the mystery of the Annunciation of the B.V.M. Gilbert Nicolas, who also appears in history under the name of Johanes Molezius, was born around 1460 in Riom in the Province of Auvergne, France. Influenced as a 16-year old youth by a sermon by a certain Franciscan preacher on the topic of the Immaculate Conception of the B.V.M., he discerned his vocation to the religious life. In 1475, in Lafond, near La Rochelle, he joined the Franciscans of the Strict Observance. After completing his novitiate and pronouncing his religious vows, he was sent to the monastery in Amboise in order to continue his education that concluded at his priestly ordination and taking the post of a lector of theology.

  • COAC.1874-1962-En.Pdf
    COL·LEGI D’ARQUITECTES DE CATALUNYA 1874-1962 Enric Granell, Antoni Ramon The author of the cover photograph is Klaus Erik Halmburger. Thanks to the donation of Enric Granell, it forms part of the Historical Archive of the Col·legi d’Arquitectes de Catalunya. This book is published at a time of crisis when it is useful to look back at our history and review the role played by the Col·legi d’Arquitectes de Catalunya (Architects’ Institute of Catalonia) at other, equally difficult moments and to see how, in its support to architects as a body, the COAC has been able to evolve by adapting to new situations. It is also positive to see how some constants of the COAC and, by extension, of Catalan architects, have continued throughout inevitable changes. These are values such as the will to undertake the responsibility for constructing a quality environment for our fellow citizens, with social and cultural commitment, incorporating the requirements and needs produced by the rapid transformation of lifestyles and technological means. Since 1874, first the Associació d’Arquitectes de Catalunya and then the Col·legi d’Arquitectes de Catalunya have brought together the architectural profession, becoming its public representative and a link between citizens, professionals and architecture. With the opening of the building in Barcelona’s Plaça Nova, 50 years ago now, these roles acquired a new dimension. Today, at a time of far-reaching global change, the objectives remain the same, and we continue with our search for new ways to make them reality.

The Council of Europe and the European Parliament have decided to establish this year in order to raise public awareness of European values and history and strengthen a sense of community identity. Cultural heritage includes not just monuments, landscapes, traditions, transmitted knowledge and expressions of human creativity, but also collections kept and managed by museums, libraries and archives, all of which are means of presenting, preserving and valuing the past. European cultural heritage is bountiful and highly valuable, offering numerous opportunities for conveying its values. This heritage must be preserved from environmental and physical pressures, the increasingly prevalent digital environment and the illegal trafficking of cultural assets, all of which are threats that need to be met. The main goals of the European Year of Cultural Heritage are: to promote cultural diversity, intercultural dialogue and social cohesion; to highlight the economic contribution of cultural heritage and creativity, particularly for small and medium-sized businesses, and local and regional development, while stressing the role of cultural heritage in terms of the European Union’s external relations, as well as the prevention of conflicts and, where necessary, the reconciliation and reconstruction of cultural heritage that has been damaged or destroyed.

  • Late Gothic Mural Paintings in the Monastery of San Isidoro Del Campo, Seville
    Late Gothic Mural Paintings 531 Chapter 16 Late Gothic Mural Paintings in the Monastery of San Isidoro del Campo, Seville Pedro José Respaldiza I Introduction I.1 Sevillian Mural Painting in the 15th Century During the first half of the 15th century, Sevillian mural painting received clear influences from International Style, superimposed over a stylistic basis inspired by Italian Trecento. These Christian designs and Gothic iconographies were also enriched with motifs drawn from Islamic mural painting, a typical phe- nomenon of Mudejar art. In the second half of the century, a clear drive towards Gothic naturalism, which was ultimately to culminate in the last third of the century with the incorporation of new formal and stylistic forms, can be detected. New repertoires emerged, and the schematic motifs of Muslim tradi- tion were substituted with imitations of Mudejar motifs, which show a marked interest in naturalistic detail. Figurative compositions showed a process paral- lel to that experienced by the Gothicist branch of the Florentine school, with which there were strong connections from the beginning of the century: a stronger interest in the narrative and the landscape, originally inspired by the Siena school, can be detected, with the representation of open scenes and advances into the Italian Quattrocento and Northern European styles, brought with the arrival of engraved plates or imported works. This process can also be identified in Sevillian miniatures, and by the second half of the 15th century we can talk about a stylistically differentiated Sevillian school. The mural paint- ings in the monastery of San Isidoro del Campo, which provide the focus of this paper, are a paradigmatic example of this process.

SANT CLIMENT < RIPOLL. SANTA MARIA Catalonia, land of Romanesque art Catalonia is and always has been receptive to the various artistic styles that have succeeded one another in Europe. Perhaps one of the most profoundly assimilated was Romanesque art, which emerged while Catalonia’s historical personality was taking shape during the height of feudalism. The birth and expansion of Romanesque art took place at a time when the sovereignty of the Counts of Barcelona had been recognised by the other Catalan counts. This unifcation coincided with two other major events. One was the de facto severing of all feudal ties with the French kings who had succeeded the last Carolingians; the other was the expedition to Crdoba (1010), which defnitively quashed the threat of an invasion from Al-Andalus and put the small Muslim-ruled principalities, into which the caliphate had been split up, under the protection of the Catalan counts.

  • 10. Monasterio De Piedra. Un Ejemplo De Arquitectura Militar Cisterciense
    Lám. 64. Torre puerta del Monasterio de Piedra, construida en el siglo XII, con un balcón litúrgico añadido a inicios del siglo XV para la ostensión de las reliquias, la aclamación de la Santa Duda de Cimballa y usado como conjuratorio de tormentas y pestes. 192 MONASTERIO DE PIEDRA. UN EJEMPLO DE ARQUITECTURA MILITAR CISTERCIENSE D. Roberto Hernández Muñoz Universidad Complutense de Madrid [email protected] Resumen: Para poder seguir la Regla de San Benito de Nursia y su máxima ora et labora, los cistercienses fundaron sus monasterios en parajes naturales aislados, muy lejos de toda civilización. Sin embargo, este aislamiento conlle- vó una cierta inseguridad, puesto que, al no tener quienes les ayudasen a su alrededor, los bandidos y malhechores podían asaltarles con mayor facilidad. Esta inseguridad llevó al Císter a desarrollar, paralela a la arquitectura religiosa y de vida monacal, una arquitectura militar propia, siendo la muralla del Mo- nasterio de Piedra un buen ejemplo de este tipo de construcciones. Por eso, la finalidad que persigue este artículo es tratar de explicar el sistema defensivo de este monasterio; cuál es su historia, su función y cuáles son sus partes más relevantes. Palabras clave: Císter, Monasterio de Piedra, sistema defensivo. PIEDRA MONASTERY: AN EXAMPLE OF CISTERCIAN MILITARY ARCHITECTURE Abstract: To follow the rule of St. Benedict of Nursia and his maxim «ora et labora», the cistercians founded their monasteries in isolated natural areas, far away from civilization. However, this isolation led to a certain insecurity, since, having no civilization to help them around, bandits and criminals could assault them more easily.
