Church of St. Nicholas, A Coruña, Galicia, Spain, Europe
The church of St. Nicholas is a religious temple of Baroque style located in Corunna. The parish of St. Nicholas is one of the parishes of the historic city of A Coruña, with Santa Maria, Santiago and San Jorge. The building has a Latin cross and a single vaulted nave. On each side of the nave there are six chapels, most funeral. Inside the presbytery and highlight the complex Baroque decorations. Two doors with balconies allow access to other areas such as the sacristy. A classicist facade, in two sections, is completed by two bell towers. In the lobby there is a cruise. The previous temple, of which only the chapel of Christ, with an inscription 1632 was destroyed in the siege of 1589. After that date, and especially since 1688 had to be strengthened and reformed. Heterogeneity and age of the existing building became necessary reconstruction, against 1740, a new temple of Baroque style. The original facade, possibly hybrid style, was replaced in 1861 by the current, projected by Faustino Dominguez Dominguez. In the chapel of Sorrows is buried the founder of the Charity Hospital, Teresa Herrera.

Church of Santiago, A Coruña, Galicia, Spain, Europe
The church of Santiago is the main temple Coruña and the oldest. Construction began in the twelfth century, during the reign of Ferdinand II. In its lobby met the council until the fifteenth century. The first news of the church of Santiago are 1218 and during the Middle Ages met in your lobby the council, until the fifteenth century came to occupy the convent of Santo Domingo. The church had two towers, one with bells and another in which they kept the scriptures and gunpowder, among other objects. Both towers threatened ruin, which recommended its demolition in 1531. The new tower, built in 1607, forced to reform the apse of the Epistle. On 1 April 1779 suffered a fire which led to having to make deep repairs. In the nineteenth century the architect Juan de Ciórraga created the rose window of the facade and the stairs of access. The original plant was three ships, which were reduced to one, the Gothic style in the fifteenth century. The main facade is Romanian and protrudes from the wall a block. In central arquivolta appear twenty elders of the Apocalypse with their musical instruments listening to El Salvador. The eardrum is held by angels and it appears James the horse. This figure, and some other, come from another part. By the east three Romanesque apses, divided by columns overseas capitals with vegetables; to the left is split by a cornerstone of the tower. The church has three doors, of which the north is the oldest. The eardrum is supported by two recesses with heads of cattle and is one year between two circuses holding a cross with his paws. The south door is also opened to Romania and sacristy. The tower was built in 1607. The apse forms a curious corner is the shortest street of Corunna, the Golden Grid. We emphasize the corbels that support the eaves of the roof and the rosette in headwall of the ship.

Convent of Santo Domingo, A Coruña, Galicia, Spain, Europe
The time when the Dominicans arrived in the city is uncertain, with opinions fluctuating between 1244 and 1273. The primitive convent was outside the walls, not far from the so-called Puerta del Aire. The English Protestant pirates occupied the city for a very short time in 1589, and on the march they burned the convent. In 1596 the construction of the new convent began in the place where it is now, and the community was formed in a stable way in 1617. At the end of the XVIII century the convent was too deteriorated to live in it and the rebuilding began. In 1835 Exclaustration and convent buildings were seized by the government, but not the church. After hard and long managements the convent was restored between 1899 and 1905, occupying the part of the old cloister that was adhered to the church. The Fathers had great difficulty in getting hold of almost everything that had belonged to the convent. In 1955 it was built what is a high school, governed by the community. The convent has always maintained a notable influence by its preaching and promotion of the cult, especially to the Virgen del Rosario, Patroness of the city.

IGLESIA DE SAN NICOLAS - PORTOMARIN
IGLESIA DE SAN NICOLÁS
PORTOMARIN
LUGO
El viejo Portomarín estaba formado por los burgos medievales de San Pedro y San Nicolás y mantenía uno de los puentes romanos medievales más célebres de la ruta Francesa del Camino de Santiago.
Desde mediados de los años sesenta, el nuevo Portomarín se abre a los ojos del peregrino al de final del actual viaducto
Fué construída a finales del S. XII por un taller de discipulos del Maestro Mateo, autor del Pórtico de la Gloria de la catedral compostelana.
La portada principal muestra justamente la influencia del famoso Pórtico compostelano, incorporando un programa de inspiración apocalíptica semejante.
En el tímpano está Cristo en la mandorla, enmarcado por las arquivoltas donde se acomodan los veinticuatro Ancianos del Apocalipsis con cítaras y otros instrumentos, formando la corte del Juez Supremo.
San Nicolás de Portomarín era iglesia perteneciente a la Orden de San Juan de Jerusalén, después llamada Orden de Malta.
Los sanjuanistas protegían este tramo del Camino, el puente, los dos hospitales del burgo de San Pedro.
Además cuidaban el hospital de San Nicolás fundado por doña Urraca.

Places to see in ( Aviles - Spain )
Avilés is a city in Asturias, Spain. Avilés is with Oviedo and Gijón, one of the main towns in the Principality of Asturias. Aviles occupies the flattest land in the municipality, in a land that belonged to the sea, surrounded by small promontories, all of them having an altitude of less than 140 metres. Situated in the Avilés estuary, in the Northern Central area of the Asturian coast, west of Peñas Cape, Aviles has a national seaport and is an industrial city. Aviles is close to popular beaches such as Salinas. Aviles also has important churches like St. Thomas of Canterbury. Avilés has the Centro Cultural Oscar Niemeyer, too.
The estuary, which had been closed to navigation since the early modern era, was partially drained and cleared in the 19th century. The water inlet dividing the place was covered, so that the two nuclei, Sabugo and La Villa, could be joined together. Then Aviles began to grow outside the medieval wall, which had been demolished in 1818. In the 20th century, there was an enormous growth in population due to the arrival of several large factories to the town. In 1953 were started the first earthworks for the construction of the factory of ENSIDESA, a large steel mill, currently Aceralia (part of ArcelorMittal); other companies in the area are Cristalería Española, which together with ENDASA, currently Alcoa, transformed Avilés into one of Spain's industrial centres. Nowadays, Aviles is trying to focus on new industries, particularly cultural tourism, and recover its antique flavour.

The Tui Cathedral is a late-Romanesque and Gothic-style Roman Catholic church in the Tui region of Galicia, Spain. It is located at Plaza de San Fernando in the center of the town.

Vindel Parchment - MS. M979 (13th c.,Galicia, Spain) www.moleiro.com
Cantiga 1
Vindel Parchment - MS. M979 (13th c.,Galicia, Spain)
The Morgan Library & Museum, New York
Speranza Cerullo singing the Cantigas by Martin Codax, in Pieve di San Martino church, Sesto Fiorentino, Florence, just as they were composed.
The Vindel Parchment, now housed at the Morgan Library & Museum in New York, was discovered quite by chance. In 1914, Pedro Vindel, the librarian and antiquarian from Madrid after whom the parchment is named, discovered it as part of the binding of a manuscript copy of Cicero’s De officiis.
The discovery of this parchment was a landmark in the history of Galician-Portuguese troubadour poetry. The Vindel Parchment (latter half of the 13th century) not only contains seven cantigas de amigo, a complete work attributed to the Galician composer and performer Martin Codax, but is also the only document to feature the music of six of these cantigas. Hence this parchment is doubly valuable because it features the only cantigas de amigo known to have a musical score.
This parchment contains seven songs sung by a maiden awaiting her absent lover in Ría de Vigo, with a monophonic musical score for six of them.
Cantigas de amigo are the most original genre of medieval Galician lyric poetry.
