Iglesia parroquial de Santa Maria - Vidreres, Girona, España - This Old Church on Waymarking.com

"La iglesia se encuentra situada en el centro del pueblo en la plaza del mismo nombre. Está dedicada a Santa María. Las primeras menciones son del siglo XI, así el 6 de mayo de 1066 Arnau Ramon antes de peregrinar a Roma hace testamento y entre otras cosas deja los bienes que tiene en la parroquia de Vidreres a su madre.

Y el 8 de enero de 1079 el obispo de Girona consagró la iglesia de san Romano de Lloret (actualmente es la ermita de las Alegrías), y se comenta que la parroquia de Lloret afronta al norte con las parroquias de Sant Llorenç de Maçanet , Santa María de Vidreres y Sant Esteve de Caulès. Pero el edificio que podemos ver es de finales del siglo XVIII y quizás de la antigua construcción sólo quedan las bases del campanario.

La construcción de la actual iglesia se realizó en concreto entre los años 1790 y 1800 dentro del estilo barroco neoclásico. Durante la última guerra carlista (1872-1875) se derribó la pirámide que coronaba el campanario, posteriormente se construyó la cupuleta que todavía existe. La fachada permaneció inacabada hasta la década de los 90 del siglo XX, así la parte inferior es de piedra y la superior se acabó con un esgrafiado. La iglesia consta de una nave central con capillas laterales, una de las cuales está dedicada a los patrones de Vidreres, san Iscle y santa Victoria."

"The church is located in the center of the town in the square of the same name. It is dedicated to Saint Mary. The first mentions are from the 11th century, so on May 6, 1066, Arnau Ramon, before making a pilgrimage to Rome, made a will and among Other things he leaves the assets he has in the parish of Vidreres to his mother.

And on January 8, 1079, the bishop of Girona consecrated the church of Sant Romano de Lloret (currently the hermitage of Las Alegrías), and it is said that the parish of Lloret faces to the north the parishes of Sant Llorenç de Maçanet, Santa María de Vidreres and Sant Esteve de Caulès. But the building that we can see is from the end of the 18th century and perhaps only the bases of the bell tower remain from the old construction.

The construction of the current church was carried out specifically between the years 1790 and 1800 within the neoclassical baroque style. During the last Carlist war (1872-1875) the pyramid that crowned the bell tower was demolished, later the dome that still exists was built. The façade remained unfinished until the 1990s, so the lower part is made of stone and the upper part was finished with a sgraffito. The church consists of a central nave with side chapels, one of which is dedicated to the patron saints of Vidreres, Saint Iscle and Saint Victoria."
