National Historical Site!
The church of Santa Maria del Vizbayo in Vizbayo Otero (León), which is becoming an area of \u200b\u200bPonferrada, was declared "National Monument" from 1982. But have no illusions, from the eleventh century the nonsense here have often on this building.
In the past the 70 th century, the parish cemetery was closed by a wall, attached to the apse, made of gray concrete blocks topped by barbed wire, with a look at the best style of metal scrap yards . Tapia has not prevented the theft of images, or the desecration of graves, but Wall has served on the graffiti exercise their "popular art."
.
Without going back to "repair" above, in 1916 sank the vaults of the presbytery and apse, whose botched reconstruction "lost" the beautiful Romanesque sculptured corbels -But two. Everything was reassembled in a hurry, without regard, so that precious items missing had survived for centuries.
.
The wall above, and his "crown of thorns," nor have prompted the better preservation of the cemetery that supposedly protects. There are frankly damaged graves, and others in a state of sad neglect. Of course, following a long-standing tradition celtibérica, despite plenty of room, the graves stubbornly stick to the walls of the temple, as if that these deceased were to glory a few minutes before the farthest, or glory were to be most glorious.
.
And, yes, have seen it, do not rub their eyes. The apse is triumphantly "decorated" with a surrealistic mansard attic. Renting the attic to meet parish expenses, given the housing shortage and how are the rents in these times?
.
For the beautiful apse window, single copy, which have not been deprived of damage enlarging their stylized vain wires that run out and get caught by the drum head, as an advertisement for what we will find inside.
.
Interior, al que se accede por una portada sin duda digna del mejor y más afamado “Monumento Histórico Artístico Nacional”: malamente encalada, cubierta de suciedad, llena de grafitos y obscenos chorreones de mugre.
.
Un interior indescriptible... ¡De pesadilla! Porque así, a bulto, todo parece normal, pero no hay más que fijarse en los detalles. ¡Y que detalles! ¡El sueño loco de un interiorista kich!
.
Lo primero, esos “santiños”, que han de ser de gran devoción, not doubt, and therefore deserve all our respect, but whose conservation, exhibition and distribution does not improve its aesthetic qualities. More than the apse of a church that seems odds-loft, where the merits of the sculptures can disappear into the general sloppiness.
.
Then that window, trans-post-modernist, his father's side, and geometric abstraction, through his mother, "a game" with both Baroque chandeliers, lamps I mean, because spiders also natural abundant, escorting the Nazarene, who, of course, leans his face feeling embarrassment. Meanwhile, good old San Francisco opens its arms in a gesture of helplessness, as if asked: - "Why God, why hast thou forsaken us in this joint ...?.
.
The Saint of Assisi, has many reasons for that gesture desolate. Underfoot fascia runs a poorly remade, daubed like the face of an old prostitute, on which rests a golden spotlight. Focus is not so, but "apply" wall, converted for the occasion, and "applied" to "as it comes out" on some walls that have been half-removed layer of lime, by the method of chopping and unceremoniously ring the ancient stones.
.
The tangle of wires, bomb no turning back, extending around the temple. Go up the vaults, down by the whitewashed walls, repainted entangled in brackets, doors and stairs ... Cables that run in fits and starts in the grounds, spliced \u200b\u200bin a bad sense of the term, based on tapes that are clamoring for a spark and subsequent fire. Purifying bonfire, only by divine miracle, has not yet been produced.
.
Finally, the Romanesque font, fluted, simple and honest has been desecrated with the blasphemy of rouge, more typical of a coming Daifa unless a sacred object. Repainting, which produce an infinite punishment in any moderately sensitive spirit. .
And yet here, supreme celtibérica neurosis is not allowed to take as many pictures as you like. It is as if the authorities 'competent', adding insult to the injury, it would overburden the world as to boast of their incompetence openly and ...
.
To whom it may concern. Do not bother, do not waste time, energy and taxpayers' money, to declare "Historical Monument National Artistic "no building then, once finished the ceremony and have posed for press photos, it will ignore miserably. From 1982 until today have passed twenty-seven, twenty-seven, of the famous father Cronos husbandry, and the temple of Vizbayo is way ever since. Time has gone by without passing through it. Please
and to the task, command and control, given that very well, the complete rehabilitation of the monument before the cables and humidity give us a fright, or worse. As he decides to act, go to pillory and stocks for the time it takes to disappear these blush natural degradation.
.
Health and fraternity.
