Santo Domingo Church

6 reviews of Santo Domingo Church

This Dominican church dates back to the Reconquest of Murcia

This Dominican church dates back to the Reconquest of Murcia, and has maintained the canvas representation of the Battle of Lepanto. In the year 1270 King James I granted the Dominicans some land and built the Convent of Santo Domingo, Real Foundation, and its primitive church. The convent school was dedicated to Dominican students, and here they studied theology among other subjects. With the seizure it was demolished in the convent, and only the church was left standing. In the year 1886 the Confraternity of the Rosary yielded to the Jesuits, in order to rebuild the present church of Santo Domingo, the Society of Jesus taking care of his cult since.

This church attached to the school...

Esta iglesia pegada al edificio del...

Esta iglesia pegada al edificio del colegio que lleva el mismo nombre es toda una sorpresa para el visitante; su apariencia exterior renacentista se transforma en un angustioso barroco en su interior. Si bien es un tanto simple por fuera, a pesar de los esfuerzos reealizados a lo largo de los siglos por mejorar su apariencia, por dentro se convierte en un mar de filigranas y detalles, tal vez por esa la inocente e incomprensible razón del porqué no dejar fotografiar su interior, unas medidas de control y seguridad que mas nos recuerdan a los asuntos de espionaje de la "formula uno" con ferrari y mclaren peleando por descubrir algo que a una iglesia del estado español. Estas normas episcopales fueron, son y serán inentendibles pero.....Allá ellos. En definitiva un exterior clásico y un interior mas que interesante hacen que esta iglesia que ha sido decorada con el correr de los siglos por artistas como Bartolomé Albert o Juan Ruiz y que conserva varias obras de arte y un órgano de caja de madera natural mas que espectacular es una parada obligatoria si estás por la ciudad de Orihuela.
This church attached to the school building that bears the same name is a surprise for the visitor, its outer appearance becomes a Renaissance Baroque harrowing inside. While somewhat simple on the outside, despite the efforts reealizados throughout the centuries to improve their appearance, inside becomes a sea of ​​watermarks and details, perhaps innocent and incomprehensible that the reason why no stop photographing inside, measures of control and security that most remind us of espionage affairs "formula one" with Ferrari and McLaren fighting to discover something that a church of the Spanish state. These rules Episcopalians were, are and will be unrecognizable but ..... Let them. Definitely a classic exterior and interior make rather interesting that this church has been decorated with the passing of the centuries by artists such as Bartolomé Albert or John Ruiz and several works of art preserved and a body of natural wood case more than spectacular is a must if you're in the city of Orihuela.

Demons of the door of the Church

Los Demonios de la puerta de la Iglesia

Se trata de unas figuras talladas que aparecen junto al escudo de los dominicos.en la portada de acceso a la iglesia. Les advierto que las imágenes que van a ver hoy pueden herir su sensibilidad ya que resultan un poco macabras. Se trata de extraños seres de formas demoníacas que no se asemejan a ningún otro ser mitológico conocido. Figura 1: Estamos viendo una imagen de los terribles sufrimientos que nos esperan en el infierno si no seguimos el camino del sacrificio, es decir bestias terroríficas y torturas sin fin. Figura 2: Muy típico aunque algo herético, la simetría entre el bien y el mal, inseparables pero al mismo tiempo opuestos. Figura 3: Es un demonio íncubo a punto de violar a una joven virgen. El problema estaba en que esa imagen era demasiado virulenta, demasiado "gore" para la portada de una iglesia. Así que (según cuentan), cierto clérigo "castró" al demonio a golpe de cincel y martillo hasta hacer desaparecer la desmesurada verga del presunto violador.
It is a carved figures that appear next to the shield cover dominicos.en access to the church. I warn you that the images you will see today are shocking since they are a bit macabre. It is demonacas beings strangers forms that do not resemble no other mythological be known. Figure 1: We're seeing a picture of the terrible sufferings that await us in hell if we do not follow the path of sacrifice, ie terrorficas beasts and endless torture. Figure 2: Very typical although somewhat hertico, the symmetry between good and evil, inseparable opposites but at the same time. Figure 3: A ncubo about to rape a young virgin demon. The problem was that the image was too virulent, too "gory" for the cover of a church. As that (according to count), a clergyman "castr" the demon to hit a chisel and hammer to get rid of the excessive cock of the alleged rapist.

Church that is inside the diocesan college of Santo Domingo

Iglesia que se encuentra dentro del colegio diocesano de Santo Domingo

Excellent
Es realmente bonita y podés disfrutar de su ornamenta y sus pinturas. Antes era de entrada gratuita e incluso te explicaban todo amablemente, desde hace un par de años cobrarán entrada, una pena, porque realmente no les hace falta cobrar entrada y dejan a muchos visitantes sin poder disfrutar de esa obra de arte
Church located inside the diocesan college of Santo Domingo. She is really beautiful and you can enjoy her ornaments and her paintings. Before it was free entrance and even explained to you all kindly, for a couple of years they will charge, a shame, because they really do not need to charge entrance and leave many visitors without being able to enjoy that work of art
