Portal of the House of the Prior of San BartolomA. Almagro, Ciudad Real. Spain
Facade of the Casa del Prior de San Bartolome, from the 16th century. It was the administrative headquarters and residence of the prior of Campo de Calatrava. Its Renaissance cover is of great ornamental and representative richness, very well carved. It is designed as a triumphal arch, with a pediment on the lintel of the opening that is topped with a very elaborate window. The lintel is decorated with mythological animals and plant drawings, and rests on two recessed jambs, decorated with rosettes and with columns on their sides with capitals, a mixture of Doric and Ionic styles. In the center of the pediment, the priors shield appears. The window located on the pediment repeats the compositional scheme of the lower span, without a pediment.. Almagro, Ciudad Real. Spain

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the majestic Portal of the House of the Prior of San BartolomA in Almagro, Ciudad Real, Spain. Dating back to the 16th century, this Renaissance masterpiece served as both an administrative headquarters and a residence for the prior of Campo de Calatrava. The facade of this historic building is a true testament to its ornamental and representative richness. The intricate carvings on its Renaissance cover are nothing short of remarkable. Designed in the form of a triumphal arch, it features a pediment adorned with an exquisitely detailed window. Mythological animals and plant drawings grace the lintel below, while recessed jambs decorated with rosettes flank either side. Columns with capitals that blend Doric and Ionic styles further enhance its grandeur. Atop the pediment sits the priors shield, proudly displaying their emblematic symbol. Mirroring the lower span's compositional scheme, another window without a pediment completes this architectural marvel. Photographer Domingo Leiva has masterfully captured every intricate detail in this stunning image print from Fine Art Storehouse. It serves as a visual reminder of Spain's rich history and architectural heritage. Whether displayed in homes or galleries, this photograph invites viewers to appreciate not only its aesthetic beauty but also its historical significance as part of Almagro's cultural legacy.
