LA CELESTINA VIEWPOINT_

THE CATHEDRAL AND A POEM OF SEASONS AND SILHOUETTES

When we seek the silhouettes of the Cathedral, we place our eyes among its most vegetal perspective. It’s a transitory vision, changing throughout the year. Autumn and winter unveil, removing the veil from part of the trees which, losing the leaves from their crowns, give way to a visibility where branches create a lattice to access the shapes of the Dome and Tower. During this period, the pinnacles stick their pins into the blue, competing in perpendicularity with the cypresses, and the green takes refuge among olives, palms, and laurels. The architecture of trunks and crowns, dispossessed of leaves, mixes its forms with those of the temple, turning the image into a confluence of lines.

Spring and summer give way to geometric shapes, the green covering the lime trees and horse chestnuts, bringing an aesthetic that is both harmonious and chaotic. The shade protects travelers and neighbors’ bodies with its coolness, making the moments of observation more pleasant. The greenery enters the perception of the landscape, contributing its aromas, completing the vision. There are hidden songs of blackbirds and serins. The memory of the moment acquires a certain synesthesia.

VIEWS FROM THE CELESTINA VIEWPOINT_

The Viewpoint takes its name from the Orchard in which it is located, a Romanesque garden designed under the setting of Fernando de Rojas’ work, La Celestina.

Looking outward from the wall, we see, on the left, the canvas of the wall that disappears towards the old Church of San Polo and the Church of Carmen de Abajo. In front of us is Paseo del Rector Esperabé and to the right, between cypresses and cedars, the profile of stained glass windows and curvilinear ironwork of the Art Nouveau and Art Deco Museum Casa Lis.
