Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book uncovers the rich history of the city of Jaca in the province of Huesca, Spain, from the very beginning, focusing particularly on its monumental cathedral. It offers a fascinating journey starting from its origins as a refuge for Christians fleeing Muslim domination in the 8th century through its role as the capital of the eponymous county and finally its transformation into an important kingdom in the High Middle Ages. As the cradle of the Reconquista, Jaca preserves the unique architectural heritage of that era, visible both in the city's historic quarter and the stunning Romanesque cathedral and cloister. The author provides a comprehensive analysis of the artistic styles and influences that shaped this sacred space, from its early Romanesque origins to the Gothic and Renaissance additions. The author also discusses the city's secular monuments, including the Town Hall and the Diocesan Museum, revealing the historical richness embedded within Jaca's urban fabric. Through a captivating exploration of Jaca's artistic and architectural treasures, this book offers a profound understanding of the city's prominent role in the cultural development of the region and the evolution of the artistic styles that defined Western Europe's medieval period.
