Parroquia de Santa María - Mora de Rubielos, Teruel, España - Medieval Churches on Waymarking.com

"Templo gótico del siglo XV, grandes dimensiones y formas muy simples, casi defensivas –es vecina al castillo-, con una única nave de 19 metros de anchura. Este dato la convierte, junto a la Catedral de Girona, en la mayor dentro del gótico español. Tiene bóveda de crucería y tres ábsides pentagonales reforzados por gruesos contrafuertes. En el exterior, llama la atención su portada abocinada con arco apuntado y arquivoltas. Cuenta con capiteles esculpidos de muy variados temas –motivos vegetales, animales fantásticos, figuras humanas…- pero se encuentran muy deteriorados. Una suerte similar corrió la Virgen con el Niño del tímpano, destruida durante la Guerra Civil. El interior es muy sobrio, característica habitual en el gótico del Levante y apenas destacan varios detalles románicos en varias capillas. Su utilización como almacén y taller en la Guerra Civil diezmó mucho del patrimonio con el que contaba. "

"Gothic temple from the 15th century, large dimensions and very simple, almost defensive shapes - it is next to the castle -, with a single nave 19 meters wide. This fact makes it, together with the Cathedral of Girona, the largest in the Spanish Gothic. It has a cross vault and three pentagonal apses reinforced by thick buttresses. On the outside, its flared façade with pointed arch and archivolts draws attention. It has sculpted capitals of very varied themes - plant motifs, fantastic animals, human figures... - but they are very deteriorated. A similar fate befell the Virgin and Child on the tympanum, destroyed during the Civil War. The interior is very sober, a common characteristic in the Gothic of the Levant, and several Romanesque details in several chapels barely stand out. Their use as a warehouse and workshop in the Civil War it decimated much of the heritage it had."
