La iglesia de San Bernardo de Sevilla y su entorno: los templos anteriores.

Abstract

espanolEl templo actual de San Bernardo marca la transicion entre la arquitectura barroca a la neoclasica en la ciudad de Sevilla. Se edifico entre 1780 y 1785, segun proyecto del arquitecto diocesano Jose Alvarez. En este articulo se dan noticias de los dos templos anteriores y de su barrio. En primer lugar, se erigio una ermita en el siglo XIII, que debio estar fortificada por hallarse a extramuros. A comienzos del siglo XVII, se edifico una iglesia de estilo manierista, en la que intervinieron los arquitectos Asensio de Maeda y Miguel de Zumarraga. Se derribo en 1780 para edificarse el templo actual, de mayores proporciones, incorporando el solar de unas casas EnglishThe current San Bernardo Temple marks the transition between Baroque and Neoclassical architecture in the city of Seville. It was built between 1780 and 1785, according to the project of the diocesan architect Jose Alvarez. This paper gives news of the two previous temples and their neighborhood. First, a hermitage was erected in the 13th century, which should have been fortified, because it was located outside the city walls. At the beginning of the 17th century, a Mannerist style church was built, in which the architects Asensio de Maeda and Miguel de Zumarraga took part. It was demolished in 1780 to build the current temple, of greater proportions, incorporating the lot of some houses
