Church of the Great Virgin

6 reviews of Church of the Great Virgin

Significant for the town but ugly

I live close and I think it is the ugliest church in Cantabria. It has a lot of meaning for the city of Torrelavega, of which it is the patron, but it is unattractive in my opinion. Perhaps it is too modern for my idea of a church.

Something out of the ordinary

Algo fuera de lo normal

Situada en la plaza que se encuentra frente a [poi=627111]" Pequeñeces "[/poi] , aparece esta espectacular iglesia , también conocida como la Iglesia Nueva , que no deja indiferente a cuantos la visitan . Se trata , sin duda , de una autentica obra de arte que destaca sobre todo lo que le rodea . Obra de Luis Moya , este templo quedo terminado en 1964 , tras casi treinta años de trabajo . De estilo claramente modernista , se levanto sobre los restos de la antigua iglesia de Santa Maria de la Vega , demolida en 1937 , fecha en que comenzó la construcción del templo actual . Su planta tiene forma eliptica con cúpula estrellada . Esta advocada a la Virgen Grande , patrona de la localidad cantabra , cuya fiesta se celebra el día 15 de agosto
Located on the square in front of "Little Things" comes this spectacular church, also known as the New Church, which impresses those who visit. This is undoubtedly an authentic work of art that stands out from everything around him. Work of Luis Moya, this temple stay ended in 1964, after almost thirty years of work. Clearly modernist style, rose on the ruins of the old church of Santa Maria de la Vega, demolished in 1937, when it began construction of the present temple. Your plant has elliptical shape with starry dome. This advocada to Large Lady, patroness of the Cantabrian town, whose feast day is celebrated on August 15
