The place where you say the Christians took over the mosque is Cordoba. Before them, the Arab occupiers had occupied a Spanish Christian church on that same site, so it is understandable that the ultimate symbol of the invaders would be occupied after they had been driven out of the country.

The average stature in Spain and in the USA are the same: 175 cm. The Sevillian cathedral reach 36 m in the main nave. The maximum height reaches 40 m in the transept. It is the biggest Gothic cathedral in the world.
Actually in Spain it is 1.76 but a centimeter or so doesn't matter much either.In any case remember that they are another tribe, another culture different from that of Spain.
Los castillos y fortalezas en España estaban hechas para la guerra, no para las fiestas , cacerias, torneos o para las princesas o Reyes. Eran para defensa y vigilancia, no se hacian "bonitos, como los franceses o alemanes o italianos. España ha estado mas d 2000mil años en guerra y se destruian y volvian a construir constantemente.

Those "bridges" on the side of the cathedrals are flying buttresses. A buttress is is a wall reinforcement. Simplyfing a bit, it works like this. The arches in the building push weight from above outwards, and inside the balance against each other, and on the outside the push the outer walls away from the center of the building. Buttresses are built to push against the from the outside. Flying buttresses do the same, but are a more nimble and beautiful version of the same. There is a wiki page on Flying butresses. On a good portion of large building they added buttresses retroactively when they started noticing the building falling apart. If I remember correctly, the Hagia Sophia in Istanbul originally looked very different, but they had to add massive buttresses over time. Turkey is a very Earthquake prone region.
@@Average_Middle_Aged_American My Father had a construction company that was partially specialized in the restoration of very old buildings/chuches/castles. I learned a lot architecture and different styles from him.
Let me add flying buttresses are one of the main allmarks of gothic cathedrals. It’s on of the technological innovations that let architects go higher and higher toward the heavens, so to speak.

@@Average_Middle_Aged_AmericanThey are good competition, but they do not have the historical and landscape variety of Spain. Spain has been a land of civilizations, there have been Phoenicians, Greeks, Romans, Visigoths, Muslims, Jews... and in addition, Spain has 4 climatic regions that make it unique in Europe. There are snow-capped mountains, rivers, lakes, deserts, steppes, forests... The cultural and historical variety of Spain is the widest in Europe, with respect to the rest of our European neighbors.
@@Average_Middle_Aged_American Italy can be in the competition, France can join too. Germany not really (a personal opinion, obviously). Germany and most of Central Europe are very similar from an architectural and scenic point of view. They are beautiful, for sure, but Italy and Spain are way more diverse and offer more. German and Central European cities look pretty similar and most of Europe is basically a big plain (The Great European Plain). You have places like the Black Forest or the Alps, but most of Central Europe is a continuous plain and most of those territories belonged to or were heavily influenced by the Holly Roman Empire or the later German-based kingdoms, so most of the cities developed at the same time and were built and designed following the same style and patterns... I have travelled across Europe multiple times and other than the language most of the times I felt like being on the same place over and over again, as both the landscape and the towns follow a similar pattern.
Todos estos edificios que están viendo como ves están construidos en España y tienen cientos y cientos de años antes que existiera Estados Unidos lo cual es más que impresionante
The astronaut in the cathedral was sculpted, I think, in the 60s or 70s with this space race, don't draw the wrong conclusions.Although it is true that it was a Spaniard who designed the space suits, his name was Emilio Herrera,who designed the first space suit, a stratonautical diving suit that solved the problems of resistance to temperatures, vacuum, and even solar radiation.
I think is a must to visit or check out in Spain the Sagrada Familia of Barcelona, which is not technically a cathedral, but a Basilica. It is estimated to be finished in 2026, and it will be the highest religious building in europe (probably in the world). It is just astonishing to see it in person.
The rectangular walls in the Majorca Catedral are called "contrafuertes" buttress in English. From Wikipedia: A buttress is an architectural structure built against or projecting from a wall which serves to support or reinforce the wall.[1] Buttresses are fairly common on more ancient buildings, as a means of providing support to act against the lateral (sideways) forces arising out of inadequately braced roof structures.
It is something that has always been done since ancient times: building a temple on top of an earlier one of a different religion. Under churches and cathedrals throughout Europe you will surely find a Roman temple. When the Arabs were expelled from Spain, there were hundreds of mosques that were converted to Christianity.
Let me tell you, the awe of entering these places is hard to describe. I’m not religious, but i just love the way great cathedrals convey a sense of ascension toward divine. Unparallaled storytelling through architecture. You have to live it in person. It’s like pictures of disneyland don’t convey the experience of being at Disneyland, but on a different set of meanings and feelings.

It is common in the history of the world that the conqueror decides on his new territory. Spain was Visigothic and they were Catholics and the churches that existed were Romanesque. When the Umayyad Caliphate took over the Iberian Peninsula defeating the Visigoth King in the battle of Guadalete, they changed the churches for mosques. It took 800 years to recover them and of course the mosques were converted into churches. This has been very common throughout the history of mankind. For example, the Basilica of St. Sophia which was a Byzantine church (Christian Orthodox) was converted into a mosque when they conquered the last bastion which was Constantinople now called the city Istanbul. This will happen as long as the world is a world because human beings will never stop doing it.

At 27:02 you ask what those side columns are. They are not columns, they are flying buttresses. They are the Gothic trick that allows the heights you see inside cathedrals. Without them the roofs would not be supported.
In the cathedral of Seville, the ceiling is approximately 137 feet (42 meters) in the central nave, and the height of the side naves is 98.5 feet (30 meters). The maximum height of the cathedral is in its tower. and reaches approximately 345 feet.( 105 metros)

These arches or what you call bridges are called flying buttresses and they serve to reinforce very high vertical walls when the buildings are in danger of deforming due to the different weight forces in their design and construction.
Those rectangular "columns" are a system called "arbotantes y contrafuertes" (no idea what the English translation fir that is). It is one of the main characteristics of gothic cathedrals (like Paris' Notre Damme too). That is what makes possible for the main building to be so tall yet have big opennings fir lots of stained glass windows. The "tilted" semi-arch redirects the load from the main dome towards thise outter columns instead of to the main verticall walls. Without those archs you get a big pile of ruble.

The cathedral in Seville is the biggest gothic cathedral in the world, and third if we count the total cathedral around the world. The main structure is Gothic, but have some parts are renaissance, the interior is mostly baroque and the gardens, the Giralda Tower and one of the door is almohade (islamic) constructions. His alterpiece is the biggest gothic one in the world and inside are buried some kings of Spain and Christopher Columbus. When they start Legends said that '' they wanted to build the largest and most impressive Christian temple so that everyone who saw it would marvel at its majesty.'' All of this was partly possible because Seville was the most important city of the Spanish Empire, where all merchandise and people going to-or coming back from the Americas had to pass through the city. This meant that people from all over Europe came to live in Seville and that it was the second largest city in Europe only after Paris in the 16th century.

No te de tanta pena de lo musulman. Te refieres a la Mezquita Catedral de Córdoba, iglesia cristina construida una mezquita que, a su vez, fue construida sobre otra iglesia cristiana visigoda anterior. En la antigüedad era costumbre construir templos sobre otros templos porque se trata de terrenos sagrados.

Es una pena que se hagan comentarios sin previamente conocer los hechos. La Mezquita donde los cristianos construyeron una catedral Barroca es la de Córdoba. Sin embargo su comentario como si fuese este hecho una aberración no es adecuado por 2 razones: 1º) La mezquita de Córdoba se construyó sobre la iglesia católica de San Vicente de época visigoda cuando los musulmanes invadieron España en el 711 despues de Cristo. 2º) A diferencia de Sevilla ( donde se derribó la antigua mequita para construir esa maravillosa catedral) en Córdoba se mantuvo la mezquita, y se construyó la catedral para evitar el desplazamiento de los muros de carga hacia el río, impidiendo que la mezquita se derrumbara. Es decir, gracias a que se construyó en medio la catedral barroca, hoy podemos conservar la mezquita y el mirhab y la zona mas valiosa de arte islámico ( Abderaman III, Al-haken II...) ya que la ampliación de Almanzor ( más extensa pero menos valiosa arquitectónicamente hablando) perjudicó los muros de carga que orientaban al río poniendo en peligro la estructura en su totalidad.
En cuanto a la giralda (al que llamas rascacielos de 500 años), es una torre almohade, es decir, musulmana, por lo que tiene mas de 800 años de antigüedad
Los pequeños puentes de la catedral de Mallorca, se llaman arbotantes, y tiene la misión de transmitir la carga de la cúpula a los muros de carga o contrafuertes. De esta manera se podía construir a mayor altura y con más vanos (como el rosetón). y vidrieras que le dan luz al interior.
Agradeciéndote tu interés por la arquitectura española, te dejo 2 recomendaciones: 1º el documental se centra en catedrales góticas y barrocas, pero no hace referencia a otras construcciones que no sean iglesias. Deberías de investigar fachadas renacentistas ( el plateresco) como por ejemplo la fachada de la universidad de Salamanca como ejemplo de este tipo de arte, o palacios renacentistas como el de Jabalquinto en Baeza. 2º Investiga sobre el arte mudéjar, mozárabe e islámico ( Mezquita-Catedral de Córdoba o la Alhambra de Granada) 3º España es el país donde quedan un mayor número de castillos medievales en pie. También te gustarán. Hay al menos 30
Magnífico video, sí señor. Hubiera estado muy bien una referencia a la Basílica de El Valle de los Caídos (Cuelgamuros, Madrid).

@@Average_Middle_Aged_American Fenomenal. Lo veré luego, a la vuelta del gimnasio. Por cierto, no deje de mirar, cuando usted pueda, lo de El Valle de los Caídos. Es más espectacular que las pirámides de Egipto, créame.
The mosque that was partially destroyed to build a cathedral you mention is Córdoba, which still preserves a lot of the original mosque with a turd of a gothic cheap cathedral in the middle. All the detail you see in stone was part of the building, not added later. The same ashlars (blocks of stone) that make the structure have the decorations carved in them. The columns of the Palma cathedral are butresses, a reinforcement to help to endure the lateral forces. The little bridges are archivolts and transmit those lateral forces from the dome to the butresses.
No es ninguna " mierda" la catedral levantada en un pequeño tramo central de la mezquita de Córdoba, ni tampoco es gótica, sino renacentista. Además , la preside un fabuloso retablo de mármol rojo manierista, obra del gran arquitecto Hernán Ruiz ...Y no solo es un espacio luminoso y solemne , sino que contiene un formidable coro bajo , cuya sillería es una de las grandes obras del barroco europeo, obra maestra del gran escultor Duque Cornejo. Otra cosa es que a usted no le guste. Es asunto suyo , pero no es presentable publicar al mundo la descalificación de toda una joya incrustada en otra joya anterior , que es el resultado del legado de distintas épocas con distintos intereses religiosos y , en ambos casos, propaganda del poder dominante.

All of this was partly possible because Seville was the most important city of the Spanish Empire, where all merchandise and people going to-or coming back from the Americas had to pass through the city. This meant that people from all over Europe came to live in Seville and that it was the second largest city in Europe only after Paris in the 16th century.
No hay ningún rey de España enterrado en la catedral de Sevilla.
Amazing!
@@loperuiz7203 Tienes razón, no eran reyes de España sino de Castilla, Fernando III, Alfonso X el Sabio y Pedro I ¿Ibas por ahí cuando me corregiste o es que te la quisiste de dar de quisquilloso y sabiondo?
@@juangarrido7430, a mí me parece perfecta la acotación. En Sevilla hay enterrados _Spanish kings,_ si quieres, pero ningún _king of Spain._ Si lo hubieras puesto bien, nadie te podría haber corregido con toda la razón. Si aquí hay un quisquilloso y un sabiondo, desde luego no es @loperuiz7203
@@juangarrido7430 Por ahí iba. Y gracias por los calificativos que me dedicas.
Y para hacer honor a ellos te voy a señalar que los 2 primeros que nombras fueron reyes de León y de Castilla, hecho no menor en la historia.
If you want a church/castle/abbey you should check out the Sacra di San Michele, in the Alps north of Turin. It’s the abbey that inspired Umberto Eco’s “Name of the Rose”.
This video: th-cam.com/video/oGfsGtJ22u8/w-d-xo.html (Part 1) and this video: th-cam.com/video/Og8nK4kQ3lw/w-d-xo.html (Part 2) are two videos from a Spanish channel that has some very good videos of the cathedrals since it also shows all the interiors, and more spectacular cathedrals appear that did not appear in this video, there are 2 parts I highly recommend you react to them, they are in Spanish but you can put the subtitles in English. In Spain there are a unreal number of not only cathedrals, but also simple churches or chapels that if you saw them you wouldn't believe it, there are so many, by the way I love your videos
Thanks!
The highest part, which is the transept, is 37 metres high.
Mallorca is goated
Las naves laterales de la catedral de Sevilla creo que medían 26 metros de altura, la central son 36. El crucero. o cúpula 44 metros
No te de tanta pena de lo musulman. Te refieres a la Mezquita Catedral de Córdoba, iglesia cristina construida una mezquita que, a su vez, fue construida sobre otra iglesia cristiana visigoda anterior. En la antigüedad era costumbre construir templos sobre otros templos porque se trata de terrenos sagrados.
I just learned that. Thanks for the information.
Any place is good , Germany,france,england,estonia,cambodia,tailand, china
Jajaja este astronauta se añadió en los años 60. 😂
According to wikipedia, it was added in the 1990's.
the best cathedal in spain is Cordoba
In Spain are literaly 10.000 castles pick one 😆

I am sorry about your loss. It is never easy.
Es una pena que se hagan comentarios sin previamente conocer los hechos. La Mezquita donde los cristianos construyeron una catedral Barroca es la de Córdoba. Sin embargo su comentario como si fuese este hecho una aberración no es adecuado por 2 razones:
1º) La mezquita de Córdoba se construyó sobre la iglesia católica de San Vicente de época visigoda cuando los musulmanes invadieron España en el 711 despues de Cristo.
2º) A diferencia de Sevilla ( donde se derribó la antigua mequita para construir esa maravillosa catedral) en Córdoba se mantuvo la mezquita, y se construyó la catedral para evitar el desplazamiento de los muros de carga hacia el río, impidiendo que la mezquita se derrumbara. Es decir, gracias a que se construyó en medio la catedral barroca, hoy podemos conservar la mezquita y el mirhab y la zona mas valiosa de arte islámico ( Abderaman III, Al-haken II...) ya que la ampliación de Almanzor ( más extensa pero menos valiosa arquitectónicamente hablando) perjudicó los muros de carga que orientaban al río poniendo en peligro la estructura en su totalidad.
En cuanto a la giralda (al que llamas rascacielos de 500 años), es una torre almohade, es decir, musulmana, por lo que tiene mas de 800 años de antigüedad
Los pequeños puentes de la catedral de Mallorca, se llaman arbotantes, y tiene la misión de transmitir la carga de la cúpula a los muros de carga o contrafuertes. De esta manera se podía construir a mayor altura y con más vanos (como el rosetón). y vidrieras que le dan luz al interior.
Agradeciéndote tu interés por la arquitectura española, te dejo 2 recomendaciones:
1º el documental se centra en catedrales góticas y barrocas, pero no hace referencia a otras construcciones que no sean iglesias. Deberías de investigar fachadas renacentistas ( el plateresco) como por ejemplo la fachada de la universidad de Salamanca como ejemplo de este tipo de arte, o palacios renacentistas como el de Jabalquinto en Baeza.
2º Investiga sobre el arte mudéjar, mozárabe e islámico ( Mezquita-Catedral de Córdoba o la Alhambra de Granada)
3º España es el país donde quedan un mayor número de castillos medievales en pie. También te gustarán. Hay al menos 30
Learning as I go.
Thanks for the information!
I recommend you the video "Cathedrals of Spain of TH-cam channel AmazingSpain .
Thanks!
Magnífico video, sí señor.
Hubiera estado muy bien una referencia a la Basílica de El Valle de los Caídos (Cuelgamuros, Madrid). Si bien no se trata de una catedral sus características propias tan especiales y espectaculares hacen de ella un monumento imprescindible de conocer (una Basílica excavada en una montaña de roca y coronada por la Cruz más grande del mundo).
Thank you for the kind words!
Another video publishing within an hour.
@@Average_Middle_Aged_American Fenomenal. Lo veré luego, a la vuelta del gimnasio.
Por cierto, no deje de mirar, cuando usted pueda, lo de El Valle de los Caídos. Es más espectacular que las pirámides de Egipto, créame.
The mosque that was partially destroyed to build a cathedral you mention is Córdoba, which still preserves a lot of the original mosque with a turd of a gothic cheap cathedral in the middle.
All the detail you see in stone was part of the building, not added later. The same ashlars (blocks of stone) that make the structure have the decorations carved in them.
The columns of the Palma cathedral are butresses, a reinforcement to help to endure the lateral forces. The little bridges are archivolts and transmit those lateral forces from the dome to the butresses.
Sabrás tú mierda de sectario si era barata o no
@@baltarbb4969 Ya te digo que lo sé, vaya que sí
@@AngelArnalen la comunidad académica sólo se habla de ti, eres un referente. Me extraña que la sexcta no te haya dedicado aún un especial.
No es ninguna " mierda" la catedral levantada en un pequeño tramo central de la mezquita de Córdoba, ni tampoco es gótica, sino renacentista. Además , la preside un fabuloso retablo de mármol rojo manierista, obra del gran arquitecto Hernán Ruiz ...Y no solo es un espacio luminoso y solemne , sino que contiene un formidable coro bajo , cuya sillería es una de las grandes obras del barroco europeo, obra maestra del gran escultor Duque Cornejo.
Otra cosa es que a usted no le guste. Es asunto suyo , pero no es presentable publicar al mundo la descalificación de toda una joya incrustada en otra joya anterior , que es el resultado del legado de distintas épocas con distintos intereses religiosos y , en ambos casos, propaganda del poder dominante.
