Iglesia Nuestra Señora de la Asunción en Vinaroz // Church of Our Lady of the Assumption in Vinaroz
Hola querido hiver.
En este post visitaremos la iglesia Nuestra Señora de la Asunción en Vinaroz. Pudiste ver parte de su exterior en una publicación anterior y hoy la recorreremos por dentro.
Los datos que aporto proceden de los carteles informativos que hay repartidos por todo el monumento.
Al rodear el edificio este rincón es parada obligatoria. La puerta de la izquierda se conoce como portada plateresca y la de la derecha es la portada de la Capilla de la Comunión.
La portada plateresca data de 1582. Originalmente se encontraba en la iglesia antigua que se situaba donde ahora está el Ayuntamiento, es lo único que queda de ella. En los medallones se representa a San Juan y San Pedro, patrones de la localidad. La imagen superior es la titular del templo, la Virgen de la Asunción.
La Capilla de la Comunión se construyó más tarde, en el siglo XVII. Tiene portada barroca y es de líneas más sencillas.
En la fachada principal del templo destacan su Torre del Campanario y la portada. Mientras que la iglesia se terminó de construir a finales del siglo XVI la torre se alzó durante el siglo siguiente hasta alcanzar sus 33 metros de altura.
La portada es de estilo barroco, con múltiples detalles que hacen referencia a la advocación mariana. Destacan las soberbias columnas salomónicas que franquean la puerta de la iglesia.
Aquí una vista más cercana y detallada de la imagen principal d la portada.
El interior sorprende por sus dimensiones. No esperaba encontrar un templo tan grande en esta localidad, que tiene poco más de 30.000 habitantes. Observamos una nave que cuenta con 12 capillas laterales y al fondo un amplio presbiterio.
Un resto visible del uso como fortaleza es el camino de ronda de carácter defensivo. Es ese pasillo que ves sobre las capillas y que rodea todo el perímetro en su parte superior.
La bóveda nervada está ligeramente apuntada.
Una de las vidrieras que permiten el paso de la luz desde el exterior.
Cuando avanzamos hacia el altar, veremos a la derecha la puerta que comunica interiormente con la Capilla de la Comunión.
Esta capilla se construyó en dos fases, ambas posteriores al templo principal.
Vista inferior de la cúpula y su linterna, que hemos visto antes desde el exterior.
También en la capilla las vidrieras ayudan a que penetre la luz. En esta se observa el momento en que Jesucristo instituye el Sacramento de la Eucaristía.
Durante la Guerra Civil se derribó el retablo neoclásico. El que vemos actualmente es una reproducción. La hornacina central alberga una bonita imagen de la Piedad.
Regresamos a la nave principal y alcanzamos la zona del altar. Su retablo original databa del siglo XVI y también se perdió durante la Guerra Civil. Los laterales del ábside están cubiertos por dos grandes murales de 7x5 metros de dimensión. Son obra del pintor barcelonés J.Moncada Planas y se finalizaron en 1957.
El conjunto escultórico central pertenece a Serrano y en él se representa la Asunción de Nuestra Señora. Lo completan dos ángeles que coronan la imagen de María.
De las doce capillas con que cuenta esta iglesia solo destacaré dos. Esta se dedica al Nazareno y la preside una talla de vestir del siglo XVIII.
La otra es la de la Virgen del Pilar. Es la patrona de mi ciudad y me hace mucha ilusión verla cuando visito otros lugares. Por algo una de nuestras jotas más conocidas (música típica de mi región) tiene como título “La que más altares tiene”.
Hasta la próxima publicación. Mientras tanto, ¡cuídate!

Hi, dear hiver.
In this post we will visit the church of Our Lady of the Assumption in Vinaroz. You could see part of its exterior in a previous post and today we will take a look inside.
The information I provide comes from the informative posters that are scattered all over the monument.
As you go round the building, this corner is an obligatory stop. The door on the left is known as the Plateresque doorway and the one on the right is the doorway of the Communion Chapel.
The Plateresque doorway dates from 1582. It was originally located in the old church that stood where the Town Hall is now, and is all that remains of it. The medallions depict Saint John and Saint Peter, patron saints of the town. The upper image is of the patron saint of the church, the Virgin of the Assumption.
The Communion Chapel was built later, in the 17th century. It has a baroque façade and is simpler in style.
The main façade of the church is notable for its bell tower and façade. While the church was completed at the end of the 16th century, the tower was raised during the following century to a height of 33 metres.
The façade is Baroque in style, with many details that refer to the Marian dedication. The superb Solomonic columns that stand out in the doorway of the church.
Here is a closer and more detailed view of the main image of the doorway.
The interior is surprisingly large. I did not expect to find such a large church in this town, which has just over 30,000 inhabitants. There is a nave with 12 side chapels and a large chancel at the back.
A visible remnant of its use as a fortress is the defensive patrol path. It is the corridor that you can see above the chapels and that surrounds the entire perimeter at the top.
The ribbed vault is slightly pointed.
One of the stained glass windows allowing light to pass through from the outside.
As we advance towards the altar, we will see on the right the door that communicates internally with the Communion Chapel.
This chapel was built in two phases, both later than the main church.
Lower view of the dome and its lantern, which we saw earlier from the outside.
The stained glass windows in the chapel also help the light to penetrate. Here we can see the moment when Jesus Christ institutes the Sacrament of the Eucharist.
During the Civil War, the neoclassical altarpiece was demolished. The one we see today is a reproduction. The central niche houses a beautiful image of the Pietà.
We return to the main nave and reach the altar area. Its original altarpiece dates from the 16th century and was also lost during the Civil War. The sides of the apse are covered by two large 7x5 metre murals. They are the work of the Barcelona painter J. Moncada Planas and were completed in 1957.
The central sculptural group belongs to Serrano and depicts the Assumption of Our Lady. It is completed by two angels crowning the image of Mary.
Of the twelve chapels in this church, only two stand out. This one is dedicated to the Nazarene and is presided over by an 18th century carving.
The other is that of the Virgen del Pilar. She is the patron saint of my city and it makes me very happy to see her when I visit other places. There is a reason why one of our best-known jotas (typical music of my region) has the title "La que más altares tiene" (The one with the most altars).
Until the next post. In the meantime, take care!

La arquitectura de España es un espectáculo. Hermoso.
Esa es una de las ventajas de ser tierra de entrada y salida al resto de Europa, hay gran variedad de estilos que fueron aportados por las diferentes culturas que han pasado por aquí. Me alegro de que te haya gustado. 😃
Hola Paloma, la verdad es que me has dejado sin palabras... bueno, me quedan unas pocas. La bóveda y la portada son realmente espectaculares. 12 capillas!!! Sorprendente.
Un abrazo muy grande.
Las capillas son muy pequeñitas, de apenas un par de metros cuadrados, pero como la nave es tan larga había muchos huecos disponibles en los contrafuertes para rellenar. La única que se sale de eso es la anexa, que es prácticamente otra iglesia más reducida.
Gracias por la visita, me alegro de que te haya gustado. 🤗
Me gustó, ya estoy esperando la próxima visita. 🤗
A spectacular photographic report, a charming church and an excellent article, very well structured!... Very good work @palomap3 friend!!!
