Sangüesa - Santa María la Real
"Santa María la Real" is one of the highlights for all people following the "Camino Aragonés" - since about 800 years. The facade is impressing it may take hours, to find out the many details. I stayed an extra day, when I had reached the town, just to see the shadows movig over the carvings.
A church did exist here already in 1131 next to the bridge crossing the river Aragon. It was transferred by Alfonso I to the "Knights Hospitaller" (aka "Order of Saint John", later "Sovereign Military Hospitaller Order of Saint John of Jerusalem of Rhodes and of Malta"). The apse is the oldest part of the structure and probably dates back to that time.
The nave and the breathtaking Southern Portal of Santa María la Real were created late 12th/13th century. I have uploaded a "total overview" earlier and will now focus on some details.
The archivolts around the large tympanum, depicting the "Last Judgement" are densely populated with dancers, workers, priests and mythical creatures.
The shepherd on the right was introduced already on one of the previous uploads. Above him a strange animal with the head of a cow and a long tongue. To the left a lady, wearing a nice cape, with long, flowing hair. Below her is a small as well very well dressed gentleman, holding a small ball. He stands on top of another shepherd, who holds a sheep - and a knife!
