Artwork description


IGLESIA DE CUNTIS ( PONTEVEDRA - ESPAÑA ) La parroquia de Santa María de Cuntis posee una historia muy dilatada. Ya desde los primeros tiempos se conoce el asentamiento en la zona gracias al castro de Castrolandín. Más adelante fueron sus aguas termales las que dieron fama a la comarca y que fueron utilizadas en su provecho ya por los romanos. Ante nosotros se nos muestra un templo reciente, de origen neoclásico. La iglesia de Cuntis se encuentra en el centro de la capital y se rodea por un fantástico parque. Junto a ella tenemos la casa rectoral y el conocido como «hospitalillo» que hoy alberga la biblioteca municipal

.Se sabe de la existencia de un antiguo monasterio del cual aún se puede ver algún resto incluido en la iglesia de Santa María de Cuntis. Noticias de este la encontramos ya en el año 1101 cuando el mismo abad Pedro aparece en 1101 citado en un privilegio otorgado por Obispo Xelmírez a la iglesia de San Estevo de Piadela (Betanzos). Su firma aparece de nuevo en 1116 en una sentencia de Doña Urraca en relación con un pleito con el monasterio de Carboeiro. En 1159 la iglesia de Santa María de Cuntis pasa a formar parte de los bienes de Santiago.
La obra actual es del siglo XVIII y en ella podremos ver algún detalle de la antigua edificación. Sobresale la existencia de una lápida sepulcral inserta en el muro en donde se puede leer una inscripción que marca el año 1116 (1078). En el interior destaca el Cristo y una imagen de San Sebastián, atribuidas al escultor Ferreiro

Atención

Esta obra tiene unas medidas de 45*35 cm contando tan bien con marco fino negro y Pas partu

CUNTIS CHURCH (PONTEVEDRA - SPAIN) The parish of Santa María de Cuntis has a very long history. The settlement in the area has been known since the earliest times thanks to the castro of Castrolandín. Later, it was its thermal waters that made the region famous and were used to their advantage by the Romans. Before us is a recent temple, of neoclassical origin. The Cuntis church is located in the center of the capital and is surrounded by a fantastic park. Next to it we have the rectory and what is known as "hospitalillo" which today houses the municipal library.

It is known of the existence of an old monastery of which some remains can still be seen included in the church of Santa María de Cuntis. We find news of this already in the year 1101 when the same Abbot Pedro appears in 1101 mentioned in a privilege granted by Bishop Xelmírez to the church of San Estevo de Piadela (Betanzos). His signature appears again in 1116 in a ruling by Doña Urraca in relation to a lawsuit with the Carboeiro monastery. In 1159 the church of Santa María de Cuntis became part of the assets of Santiago.
The current work is from the 18th century and in it we can see some details of the old building. The existence of a tombstone inserted in the wall stands out where you can read an inscription marking the year 1116 (1078). Inside, the Christ and an image of Saint Sebastian stand out, attributed to the sculptor Ferreiro.

Attention

This work measures 45*35 cm and comes with a fine black frame and Pas partu.
