Un coronament singular / Unique topping to a dull tower

IN ENGLISH BELOW THE LINE

 

Foto feta amb una Ihagee Patent Duplex 720 fabricada entorn 1925; objectiu Goerz Dogmar f4.5 / 135mm; pelicula Fomapan 100, revelada amb HC110. El meu avi tenia una càmera pràcticament identica a aquesta. Cliqueu-hi a la imatge més avall, per a més informació.

 

L'església barroca de St. Jaume de Creixell compta amb un campanar força tipic per l'època (aborridament tipic, val a dir) construit el 1771. Però el 1917, l'arquitecte Josep Mª Jujol hi va afegir un coronament modernista del tot inusual, convertint-lo en un campanar certament unic.

===============================================

 

Picture taken with an Ihagee Patent Duplex 720, manufactured in 1925; Goerz Dogmar f4.5 / 135mm lens; Fomapan 100, developed in HC110. My grandfather had an almost identical camera.

 

The rennaisance and baroque church of the Catalan village of Creixell had a quite typical (and even dull) bell tower, built in 1771. I could say that this shape is probably the most usual in all Catalan churches.

 

But then, in 1917, art nouveau architect and Gaudí colaborator Josep Mª Jujol added a top layer which makes this church quite unique.
