Faith, superstition and art: the medieval mind - Church of São Pedro de Rates - 4K Ultra-HD
Video about the Romanesque Church of São Pedro de Rates, located in the parish of Rates (in the municipality of Póvoa de Varzim), where its history and fascinating artistic elements are explored in detail.
It is built on the site of a pre-Romanesque hermitage, built in the 9th or 10th century, of which there are still some archaeological remains.
As early as the 10th century, Count Henry and Countess Teresa ordered the construction of a new church, which would later be donated to the Order of Cluny, which emanated from one of the main centres of the Catholic Church in medieval Europe: the Abbey of Cluny.
In 1145, King Afonso I confirmed this donation, at which point the structure of the Romanesque church that we can still see today was built, in a process that lasted until the 13th century. It is one of the most important Romanesque temples in Portugal, both for its antiquity and for the way it incorporates influences from Burgundy, brought by the Cluniac abbots, and Galicia, given its geographical proximity to that Spanish region.
It has been classified as a National Monument since 1910. It underwent extensive restoration and reconstruction campaigns in the 1930s and 1940s, led by the DGEMN, which removed various elements added since the 16th century (high choir, bell tower, annex rooms, mural paintings, tiles and gilded altars), a controversial intervention that is now part of the history and evolution of this remarkable building.
Subtitles in English are available.
