Santa Maria, a masterpiece of Moorish art

The church of Santa Maria, like this from high Lorca parishes, enjoys a privileged location.

Both for its unique plant with an unusual rectangular head, as usual in the Mudejar churches, and by its elevation, it offers us, as a complicated puzzle, the vicissitudes of the path followed by the medieval Christian art Lorca.

Conceived as a three-nave church with as many sections in the longitudinal, rectangular chancel and chapels in the same way on the side of the Epistle., And continued in the sacristy, on which stands the tower.

There is little difference in height in the three naves and the transept, just accused.

On the rectangular header opened, and in the eighteenth century, a polygonal-shaped dressing room decorated with stucco angels and murals with fake prospects

The central dome-key star central, elegant boots pointed arches, which are supported by interior columns on high bases supported cylindrical section of the slenderness of the pillars and the sharp absence of decoration, except the presence of bracelets decorated with plant motifs finely next to a watermark in the lesion of the lateral arches, and the corresponding transverse and nerves that form the vaults, we also remember the constants Levantine Gothic art.

The chapel of the owner, a polygonal shape, was built by brick on stone plinth carved run, it started up in 1753, joining the head of the church as clearly independent and meaningful piece.

In 1797 its interior was decorated with paintings definitively architectures false and false perspectives with Marian reasons, and its architects the painters José Mariano Francisco Ferrandiz and Santacruz17 browning.

The Orlo dome with decorative elements such as angels, pediment, rock and shields, in ornate style, clumsy execution, but not free of charm.

Objective: To reverse a cessation process started in 1533

The richness of its interior, its lost altarpiece and imagery speaks Montoya Lillo.

Documents the existence of images of the Virgin of the Pear, Our Lady of the Assumption, Our Lady of the Incarnation, Our Lady of transit, and the Risen Dolorosa, the work of Roque Lopez currently preserved in San Patricio, sole survivor of the events during the Civil War.

Other remains of their movable property stored in San Patricio and the church of San Mateo, a cross appeal of rock crystal, gilt, and a magnificent silver monstrance, both pieces of jewelry displays remarkable Gothic.

The recovery of this ancient temple of neglect reversed a process that began with the redistribution of tithing for the Collegiate Church of St. Patrick's from 1533 with the purpose of financing its construction, which impoverished the rest of temples and prevented their reforms, reducing its influence and culminated with the destruction suffered during the civil war and neglect in later decades.
