Monsaraz, A Cuba


For Sunday Challenge 50, HISTORY
YOU ARE ALL WELCOME TO VISIT THE GROUP: www.ipernity.com/group/daysincolour365
Esta ermida, que ficou englobada desde o século XVII no Baluarte de São João, apresenta uma curiosa forma cúbica de caráter mourisco, o que levou alguns investigadores a pensarem tratar-se de uma antiga cuba árabe. Outros, porém, atribuem-lhe uma origem quinhentista, período em que mudejarismo influenciou fortemente a arquitetura alentejana. O interior do templo encontra-se revestido por pinturas murais realizadas por artistas eborenses no ano de 1622.
É o mais antigo monumento de Monsaraz (cuba muçulmana) sendo inicialmente um edifício fúnebre, ou um pequeno santuário muçulmano do domínio almóada (séc. XI-XII) que foi mais tarde cristianizado.
É um monumento cúbico, de planta quadrada e cúpula hemisférica de tijolos vermelhos, erigida sobre quatro trompas angulares de inspiração oriental. Numa face apresenta ainda vestígios de um arco de grande volta que poderia ter envolvido o arco em ferradura, primitiva porta de acesso antes da cristianização.
A presença árabe nesta zona, que outrora pertenceu ao reino mouro de Badajoz, encontra a sua expressão nesta cuba que só pode ter sido um santuário muçulmano ou um oratório erguido no recinto de um cemitério para recolher e guardar os despojos de um santarrão muçulmano.
A cuba de Monsaraz está erguida num antigo cemitério rupestre, que depois foi islamizado e logo após a Reconquista Cristã foi ritualmente purificado, convertido em igreja e consagrado ao culto cristão. A ermida que deu lugar ao santuário muçulmano ficou sob o orago de S. João Baptista, padroeiro dos Hospitalários e dos Templários.

This chapel, which has been part of the São João Fort since the 17th century, has a curious cubic shape with a Moorish character, which has led some researchers to think it is an old Arabic vat. Others, however, attribute it to a 16th century origin, a period in which Mudejarism strongly influenced Alentejo architecture. The interior of the temple is covered with wall paintings made by artists from Eborenses in 1622.
It is the oldest monument of Monsaraz (Muslim vat) being initially a funeral building, or a small Muslim sanctuary of the Almohad domain (11th-12th century) that was later Christianised.
It is a cubic monument, square in plan and with a hemispherical dome of red bricks, erected on four oriental-inspired angular horns. One side still shows traces of a large round arch that could have enclosed the horseshoe arch, the primitive access door before Christianisation.
The Arab presence in this area, which once belonged to the Moorish kingdom of Badajoz, finds its expression in this vat, which can only have been a Muslim sanctuary or an oratory erected in the enclosure of a cemetery to collect and keep the spoils of a Muslim santarrão.
The vat of Monsaraz is built on an ancient rock cemetery, which was later Islamicized and soon after the Christian Reconquest was ritually purified, converted into a church and consecrated to the Christian cult. The hermitage that gave way to the Muslim sanctuary was under the patron saint of S. João Baptista, patron saint of the Hospitallers and the Knights Templar.

It beats me why religions always feel the need to wipe out what has come before....
Xata club has replied to Gudrun clubIn most of the human history the religions almost did the same thing, obliterate / destroy other religions. Well humanity inherited it.
