Catedral, Palma de Mallorca. by Eugercios

Catedral, Palma de Mallorca.

Los números de la Seu son asombrosos: su rosetón, el "ojo del gótico", es con sus 13 metros de diámetro, el mayor de la arquitectura gótica; su bóveda central de 44 metros, una de las más altas de las catedrales construidas en la edad media; las naves laterales, de 30 metros de altura, son las de mayor altura de todas las catedrales góticas (la bóveda central de la catedral de Burgos es de 25 metros, solo por comparar) y los pilares que sustentan semejante proeza son los más altos y esbeltos que existen, que también, unido a la separación existente entre ellos, conforman uno de los espacios, si no el que más, más amplios de toda la edad media. Quizá a veces, subestimamos esta obra maestra del Mediterráneo.

Sala Capitular - Real Monasterio de Santa María de Veruela

El abad reúne aquí a la comunidad para informarla; después de la iglesia es el lugar más solemne del monasterio donde toman el hábito los monjes y generalmente son enterrados los abades, cuyas lápidas sepulcrales ornan la solería. En el muro norte se encuentra la sepultura de Lope Ximénez, señor del vecino lugar de Agón, tallada en piedra policromada de finales del s. XIII. En el muro opuesto, también bajo arcosolio y tallada en piedra policromada, la del abad Sancho Marcilla Muñoz (finales del s. XIV). En el antepecho sur de la arquería que cierra la sala hay grabados unos módulos arquitectónicos y medidas del s. XIII. Encima se encuentra el antiguo dormitorio común.

Capilla de San Bernardo - Iglesia abacial de Santa María de Veruela

Amplia edificación renacentista levantada por el abad Lope Marco para su sepultura (talla en alabastro de Pedro de Moreto, h. 1552-1553). En esta capilla se expone la losa sepulcral del infante Alfonso de Aragón († 1260), hijo del rey Jaime I el Conquistador, cuyo escudo con los palos o barras de Aragón campea en la talla en piedra (1260).

Iglesia abacial de Santa María de Veruela

Se estructura en tres naves cubiertas con crucería simple gótica y una cabecera muy desarrollada con girola y cinco absidiolos cubiertos con bóveda de cuarto de esfera de tradición románica. Las obras comenzaron por el presbiterio y consta documentalmente que sus altares fueron bendecidos entre 1168 y 1182, retrasándose la consagración del mayor a 1248. En 1249 la mayor parte del templo ya se había erigido. En la iglesia, los monjes pasan en torno a un cuarto del día rezando las distintas horas canónicas, desde maitines a completas; por este motivo, es la edificación mayor y más cuidada de cualquier monasterio cisterciense. A los pies de la nave colateral sur se abre la puerta de los conversos (los legos) de tradición románica (inicios del s. XIII). Éstos, al igual que en el resto del monasterio, no se mezclaban con los monjes y poseían un coro independiente en la nave central, detrás del de los monjes (ambos desmantelados).
