Collegiate Church of Santa María del Sar

12th c. Romanesque

Built in the 12th century on the banks of the River Sar, it is the church, along with the Cathedral, that still has the greatest proportion of its original Romanesque structure.

The most outstanding features outside are the small façade tower and the robust buttresses that were built between the 17th and 18th centuries in order to protect the north walls and prevent them from falling down. Due to a technical error in its construction, or to the bold elevation of the side naves, or to the sliding of the unstable land on which it is built and which is often flooded by the river, or to the intention of those who worked on its construction, the inner walls and columns are visibly inclined. This singular attraction made it necessary to rebuild the barrel vault in the 16th century.

The beautifully proportioned interior amazes all who visit it due to the inclination of the columns facing the side naves, which gives it an unstable look. The baptismal font, to the right of the main door, is an interesting archaeological piece from the 12th century.

The cloister, one of the most beautiful of Compostela's Romanesque style, is accessed by means of the Sacristy. Only one of the original wings remains; the rest belongs to the 17th and 18th centuries. A fine collection of archaeological pieces is on display inside.

En la fachada principal, la occidental, vemos una distribución en tres calles. Como ya se comentó, el cuerpo superior de la misma fue reconstruido durante el S XVIII, en ese momento se perdió el rosetón central, y según se puede apreciar por esta marcada estructura en calles, debieron existir también rosetones más pequeños en la calles laterales. Hoy aparecen tres ventanas recordando la antigua ubicación de los mismos. Collegiate Church of Santa María del Sar, Santiago de Compostela 11

En la parte central de la capilla, sobre la bóveda, se conserva el fragmento de la Virgen de la Misericordia (1546), de la que tan sólo se puede contemplar la parte inferior de su túnica y sobretúnica. Sin embargo, este retazo, de minuciosa factura, permite imaginar la composición original de la obra en la que destacan las grandes dimensiones de la imagen, cuya cabeza podía alcanzar la mitad de la bóveda. A su derecha se puede apreciar una figura masculina, en actitud orante, tras la que aparecen varios personajes. Collegiate Church of Santa María del Sar, Santiago de Compostela 22

Pero sin duda lo más llamativo es la inclinación de los pilares interiores. Estos tienen una desviación que oscila ente los 2º- 3º de inclinación siempre hacia los muros, lo que supone una desviación de su eje de aproximadamente entre 25-50 cm. Esto se traduce un una imagen única, que ha sido motivo de estudio y admiración desde hace siglos. Llegando incluso a plantearse la teoría, hoy descartada, de que hubiese sido construida ya de esta forma. Lo cierto, es que en la mediciones realzadas desde que tenemos constancia, en los trabajos realizados durante el S XVIII; esta desviación parece constante, lo que nos indica que el trabajo realizado por los arbotantes está resultando efectivo.
