San Juan of Douro. Claustro Soria

San Juan of Douro, acquaintance also as arcs of San Juan of Douro, forms a whole of Romanesque architecture chatelaine put to the outskirts of the Soria city (Spain).Which today is to see, the church and the university council, are not but the remains of a monastery of the military order of the San Juan hospitalers of Jerusalem or riding knights of the Order of Saint John of Jerusalem raised in the first half of the XII century on the banks of the Douro river and that kept lived until the century XVIII.La church is very simple, of a single aisle with presbytery and apse; that one, with vault of intercede pointed gun barrel, and this one, semicircular with vault of oven. Not has nothing of attractive if it did not go for the two ready small churches one to each side of the presbytery like |iconostasis|, in such a way that could be closed the space it remained between both and hide to the priest in the moment of the consecration, by following the norms of the Greek rite. It deals with of two baldachins, of spherical dome, the one, and conical, the other, but in both skiff loads cases and mounted on columns of wood and capital quadruple and bases unique. The capitals make a show of figurative leavings of meritorious carving staging evangelical and allegorical passages.http ://es.wikipedia.org/wiki/San_Juan_de_Duero
