Descripción Larga
<p></p> <p align=""JUSTIFY""><span style=""color: #222222;"><span style=""font-size: medium;">The Jeronimo Monastery of Valparaíso is located Located in Sierra Morena, about ten kilometers from Córdoba and <strong>a few meters from the majestic Medina Azahara.</strong> Considered as <strong>the first fully Gothic construction</strong> a of the city, was erected thanks to the first founder of the <strong>Order of Saint Jerome in Spain,</strong> Fray Vasco, in the first decade of the <strong>15th century</strong>. This building continued receiving <strong>additions from later periods</strong> so today we find Gothic, <strong>Renaissance and Baroque structures</strong> forming part of this monastery that was functioning until the year 1835. At the end of the 19th century, It fell into private hands</strong>and in 1911 the Marquises of Mérito were in charge of its restoration. At the end of the 20th century, in 1980, it was designated <strong>Asset of Cultural Interest.</strong></span></span></p> <p> </p>
Destacados
<p></p> <p align=""JUSTIFY""><span style=""color: #222222;"><span style=""font-size: medium;">The <strong>legend</strong> says that this religious building was built with <strong>materials looted from Medina Azahara.</strong> Whether true or not, the truth is that in various areas of the building we can <strong>see remains of caliphal-style structures,</strong> in the courtyard of the monastery For example, it was carried out the largest discovery to date and it was a <strong>bronze sculpture</strong> that represents a <strong>fawn</strong> and which unfortunately was sold in 1997 - the one that currently stands in the center of the patio is a modern reproduction. Today it is located in the city of Doha as part of the collections of the National Museum of Qatar.</span></span></p> <p align=""JUSTIFY""><br /><span style=""color: #222222;"><span style=""font-size: medium;">On the exterior of the property a <strong>stone façade stands out </strong> elongated roof with irregularly arranged windows and a series of <strong>balconies</strong> where we can contemplate a beautiful <strong>relief of Saint Jerome, Patron of the Religious Order to which is dedicated to the temple, above the access door. Inside we find <strong>two cloisters</strong> with a square floor plan - the one called for the novices was completely rebuilt - in addition to the <strong>Priorial Room, the Chapter Room and a beautiful courtyard with columns around the rich</strong>covered with Gothic ribbed vaults. The <strong>church</strong> of the monastery follows the models of the preaching temples since it is composed of <strong>a single rectangular nave, choir and four side chapels.</strong></span></span></p> <p> </p>
