The Agra Fort is a UNESCO World Heritage site located in Agra, Uttar Pradesh, India. It is about 2.5 km northwest of its more famous sister monument, the Taj Mahal. The fort can be more accurately described as a walled city.

 

HISTORY

The present-day structure was built by the Mughals, though a fort had stood there since at least the 11th century. Agra Fort was originally a brick fort known as Badalgarh, held by Raja Badal Singh Hindu Sikarwar Rajput king (c. 1475). It was mentioned for the first time in 1080 AD when a Ghaznavide force captured it. Sikandar Lodi (1488–1517) was the first Sultan of Delhi who shifted to Agra and lived in the fort. He governed the country from here and Agra assumed the importance of the second capital. He died in the fort at 1517 and his son, Ibrahim Lodi, held it for nine years until he was defeated and killed at Panipat in 1526. Several palaces, wells and a mosque were built by him in the fort during his period.

 

After the First Battle of Panipat in 1526, Mughals captured the fort and seized a vast treasure, including the diamond later known as the Koh-i-Noor. The victorious Babur stayed in the fort in the palace of Ibrahim and built a baoli (step well) in it. The emperor Humayun was crowned here in 1530. Humayun was defeated at Bilgram in 1540 by Sher Shah. The fort remained with Suris till 1555, when Humanyun recaptured it. The Hindu king Hem Chandra Vikramaditya, also called 'Hemu', defeated Humanyun's army, led by Iskandar Khan Uzbek, and won Agra. Hemu got a huge booty from this fort and went on to capture Delhi from the Mughals. The Mughals under Akbar defeated King Hemu finally at the Second Battle of Panipat in 1556.

 

Realizing the importance of its central situation, Akbar made it his capital and arrived in Agra in 1558. His historian, Abdul Fazal, recorded that this was a brick fort known as 'Badalgarh'. It was in a ruined condition and Akbar had it rebuilt with red sandstone from Barauli area in Rajasthan. Architects laid the foundation and it was built with bricks in the inner core with sandstone on external surfaces. Some 4,000 builders worked on it daily for eight years, completing it in 1573.

 

It was only during the reign of Akbar's grandson, Shah Jahan, that the site took on its current state. Legend has it that Shah Jahan built the beautiful Taj Mahal for his wife, Mumtaz Mahal. Unlike his grandfather, Shah Jahan tended to have buildings made from white marble, often inlaid with gold or semi-precious gems. He destroyed some of the earlier buildings inside the fort to make his own.

 

At the end of his life, Shah Jahan was deposed and restrained by his son, Aurangzeb, in the fort. It is rumoured that Shah Jahan died in Muasamman Burj, a tower with a marble balcony with a view of the Taj Mahal.

 

The fort was invaded by the Maratha Empire during the mid 18th century. Thereafter, it changed hands between the Marathas and their foes many times. After their catastrophic defeat at Third Battle of Panipat by Ahmad Shah Abdali in 1761, Marathas remained out of the region for the next decade. Finally Mahadji Shinde took the fort in 1785. It was lost by the Marathas to the British during the Second Anglo-Maratha War, in 1803.

 

The fort was the site of a battle during the Indian rebellion of 1857, which caused the end of the British East India Company's rule in India, and led to a century of direct rule of India by Britain.

 

LAYOUT

The 380,000 m2 (94-acre) fort has a semicircular plan, its chord lies parallel to the river and its walls are seventy feet high. Double ramparts have massive circular bastions at intervals, with battlements, embrasures, machicolations and string courses. Four gates were provided on its four sides, one Khizri gate opening on to the river.

 

Two of the fort's gates are notable: the "Delhi Gate" and the "Lahore Gate." The Lahore Gate is also popularly also known as the "Amar Singh Gate," for Amar Singh Rathore.

 

The monumental Delhi Gate, which faces the city on the western side of the fort, is considered the grandest of the four gates and a masterpiece of Akbar's time. It was built circa 1568 both to enhance security and as the king's formal gate, and includes features related to both. It is embellished with inlay work in white marble. A wooden drawbridge was used to cross the moat and reach the gate from the mainland; inside, an inner gateway called Hathi Pol ("Elephant Gate") – guarded by two life-sized stone elephants with their riders – added another layer of security. The drawbridge, slight ascent, and 90-degree turn between the outer and inner gates make the entrance impregnable. During a siege, attackers would employ elephants to crush a fort's gates. Without a level, straight run-up to gather speed, however, something prevented by this layout, elephants are ineffective.

 

Because the Indian military (the Parachute Brigade in particular) is still using the northern portion of the Agra Fort, the Delhi Gate cannot be used by the public. Tourists enter via the Amar Singh Gate.

 

The site is very important in terms of architectural history. Abul Fazal recorded that five hundred buildings in the beautiful designs of Bengal and Gujarat were built in the fort. Some of them were demolished by Shahjahan to make way for his white marble palaces. Most of the others were destroyed by the British between 1803 and 1862 for raising barracks. Hardly thirty Mughal buildings have survived on the south-eastern side, facing the river. Of these, the Delhi Gate and Akbar Gate and one palace – "Bengali Mahal" – are representative Akbari buildings.

 

Akbar Darwazza (Akbar Gate) was renamed Amar Singh Gate by the British.

 

POPULAR CULTURE

- The Agra Fort won the Aga Khan Award for Architecture in 2004. India Post issued a stamp to commemorate this event.

- The Agra Fort plays a key role in the Sherlock Holmes mystery The Sign of the Four, by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle.

- The Agra Fort was featured in the music video for Habibi Da, a hit song of Egyptian pop star Hisham Abbas.

- Shivaji came to Agra in 1666 as per the "Purandar Treaty" entered into with Mirza Raje Jaisingh to met Aurangzeb in the Diwan-i-Khas. In the audience he was deliberately placed behind men of lower rank. Insulted, he stormed out of the imperial audience and was confined to Jai Sing's quarters on 12 May 1666.

- In the second expansion pack for the videogame Age of Empires 3, the Asian Dynasties, Agra fort is one of five wonders for the Indian civilisation.

The Getty Center is a major cultural hub in the city of Los Angeles. Built at the top of a hill in the Santa Monica Mountains, alongside the San Diego Freeway (405), it always offers new exhibits and forms of entertainment. On its grounds, beautiful gardens are always very well kept.

The exterior of the buildings has been covered with travertine, a form of calcium carbonate (limestone). The name travertine originates from the Latin: lapis tiburtinum, meaning "the rock of the River Tiber", was the material used by the Romans for many of their building in their capital. The Getty Center's travertine has been imported from around Rome, Italy. The beauty of this travertine is in its irregular and always varied surface, its color with tonalities of white and light brown, its crystals and fossils. While many fossils may be microscopic, some trace fossils and some leaves here and there can be found on the exposed surfaces.

The upper part of this diptych shows the cast of a leaf that fell in carbonate-saturated waters. The leaf is long gone, but its print on the limestone has been preserved.

While observing this leaf, I looked around, and live ones, from a nearby cottonwood, attracted my attention. I took a picture facing the sun, so that i could get more details at the cellular level, as a comparison to the fossil one.

I'm thinking I'm going to need to buy a camera sometime in the next few months. Up to this point I have been using my Mom's Canon Rebal, but since moving out to my new place, I don't have access to it except on the weekends. My plan is to buy a decent Canon SLR, invest in some nice lenses over the next few years and eventually upgrade to a much better body. What camera would y'all recommend? I'm thinking about the Canon EOS Rebel T1i...anyone have that camera? What do you think of it?

Depois de levar mais de 120 mil espectadores ao CCBB de São Paulo, a mostra Corpos Presentes – Still Being foram expostas no CCBB do Rio. As obras do escultor americano Antony Gormley, vencedor do Turner Prize de 1994, ocuparam praticamente todo o prédio do centro cultural. A seleção foi composta por 50 maquetes, 9 gravuras, 25 fotos e 6 vídeos, além de 11 obras que, juntas, reúnem quase uma centena de esculturas.

 

O designer e documentarista Marcello Dantas assinou a curadoria da mostra, que foi a primeira individual do artista no Brasil. Gormley também apresentou, por aqui, a intrigante instalação Event Horizon, composta por 31 esculturas de homens nus que foram espalhados pelo Centro da Cidade, nas cercanias do CCBB.

La Catedral de Jaca

 

La Catedral de Jaca está considerada uno de los monumentos más importantes del arte románico español, no sólo por su reconocida antigüedad sino también por presentar una síntesis personal entre elementos propios y ajenos, dentro del ámbito de las rutas del Camino de Santiago.

 

Esta importante vía de peregrinación que en época medieval ponía en comunicación toda Europa y convirtió al arte románico en el primer "arte internacional", penetraba en Aragón salvando los Pirineos a través del Puerto del Somport y bajaba hasta Jaca para, a partir de aquí y en un acusado giro de noventa grados, dirigirse a tierras navarras.

 

El origen de la catedral y su relación íntima con la villa de Jaca debe situarse en ese mundo de las peregrinaciones jacobeas, tremendamente rico en flujos e intercambios de personas, productos e ideas, y en un preciso momento histórico en el que los reinos cristianos hispanos luchaban contra el invasor musulmán y avanzaban lentamente desde la montaña hacia el valle dejando a su paso testimonios de la fe restablecida.

 

Así, conquistada Jaca a comienzos del siglo X, inmediatamente se amuralla y se organiza su vida religiosa mediante la fundación de un viejo monasterio puesto bajo la advocación de San Pedro (llamado luego el Viejo, para diferenciarlo de la propia catedral, que recibió el mismo nombre. Jaca recibe sus fueros del rey Sancho Ramírez en el año 1077 y de esta forma alcanza la categoría de ciudad y la importante función de capital del Reino de Aragón, que desempeñará hasta la conquista de la ciudad de Huesca en 1096. El nuevo rango de ciudad viene acompañado de la instauración como sede episcopal, que inmediatamente precisa de un edificio para su obispo. Es éste un momento religioso de gran agitación debido a la llegada a tierras altoaragonesas de la poderosa orden cluniacense, establecida en el monasterio de San Juan de la Peña, que traerá consigo la reforma gregoriana y la sustitución del rito mozárabe por el nuevo rito romano.

Horario de visitas: De 11.00 a 13.30 y de 1.00 a 20.00 horas.

El templo románico

EL TEMPLO CATEDRALICIO conserva en lo básico su estructura y configuración románica: una planta basilical de tres naves de cinco tramos con sus correspondientes ábsides alineados y dos puertas de acceso: la occidental o principal, dotada de un espacioso atrio o lonja que abre a la plaza de San Pedro (donde antiguamente se situaba el monasterio

homónimo), y la puerta meridional, desde el siglo XVI dotada también de lonja y vinculada a la plaza del Mercado.

 

De los tres ábsides románicos sólo el meridional o de la Epístola se conserva inalterado, pues su simétrico quedó destruido y el central fue ampliado a finales del siglo XVIII para evitar las humedades de un cementerio anejo a la cabecera y para poder trasladar al presbiterio el coro y el órgano que estaban situados desde antiguo en los pies de la nave central (este traslado no se haría efectivo hasta 1919).

 

En este ábside meridional aparecen resumidos los elementos y el lenguaje arquitectónicos característicos del románico jaqués, entre los que destacan los "tacos" o "billetes" en ajedrezado (discurre en forma de imposta por el exterior e interior del edificio) y las "bolas" (presentes también en los apoyos interiores).

 

En el INTERIOR, las tres naves están separadas por arquerías de medio punto que apoyan sobre pilares cruciformes y cilíndricos que se alternan, configurando un curioso "tramo doble" del que pueden encontrarse paralelismos en iglesias del norte de Francia y en Inglaterra. Los capiteles, con una configuración básica de orden corintio, presentan diversos tipos de decoración: geométrica, vegetal y figurada.

 

El edificio románico cubría sus naves con techumbre de madera (a dos aguas la central y a una las laterales), que posteriormente como veremos se sustituirán por las actuales bóvedas. El resto de la catedral mantiene su sistema de cubrición original: bóveda de medio cañón para los brazos del transepto y los tramos rectos de los ábsides, cúpula hemiesférica sobre trompas para el crucero y bóveda de horno para los tramos curvos de los ábsides.

 

LA PORTADA OCCIDENTAL se sitúa al fondo de un profundo pórtico, cubierto con medio cañón, que tendría además función penitencial, tal como lo indican las representaciones y los textos del tímpano, en cuyo centro se dispone el típico Crismón Trinitario flanquedo por dos leones: el de la derecha aplasta con sus garras a un oso y a un basilisco, representando a Cristo como vencedor del pecado y de la muerte, mientras el de la izquierda protege a un hombre vestido de penitente que se prosterna ante él, mostrando así su misericordia divina.

  

LA PORTADA MERIDIONAL presenta un tímpano muy modificado y dos capiteles que simbolizan, a través de dos representaciones bíblicas (Abraham e Isaac y Balaam y el ángel) el poder salvífico de Dios; se atribuyen estos capiteles al llamado "maestro de Jaca" y junto con los magníficos capiteles del claustro (actualmente diseminados por distintas dependencias catedralicias, entre ellas el propio pórtico sur y el museo) constituyen los mejores ejemplos de la escultura del románico jaqués.

Las etapas constructivas

*La construcción de la catedral románica se desarrolla en dos fases bien diferenciadas, correspondientes a periodos de especial sintonía entre los reyes de Aragón y los obispos jacetanos:

EL PRIMER PERIODO ENTRE 1077 Y 1082, que se corresponde con el reinado de Sancho Ramírez y el obispado de su hermano el infante García.

EL SEGUNDO PERIODO ENTRE 1104 Y 1130, cuando Alfonso I el Batallador v Esteban de Huesca ceñían la corona v la mitra, respectivamente.

 

Una vez levantado el templo románico se fueron añadiendo dependencias necesarias para la vida capitular y la catedral fue creciendo. Su estructura inicial se vio modificada por sucesivas reformas, ampliaciones y destrucciones, que le han dado su configuración actual, pero siempre ha conservado esa conexión íntima con la ciudad y con sus habitantes.

 

Tras un pequeño paréntesis, donde únicamente se realizan obras de mantenimiento en el edificio, El SIGLO XV asiste a la construcción de capillas de estilo gótico como 1a de Santa Cruz, Santa Orosia, San Agustín y Santo Cristo, todas ellas en la nace septentrional, así como a la erección de la torre sobre e1 pórtico de entrada, que posteriormente sufrirá abundantes reformas.

 

EL SIGLO XVI Y PARTE DEL XVII siguen siendo momentos de gran actividad constructiva, destacando de ella los siguientes trabajos: el abovedamiento de las naves laterales (1520-30); la fundación de nuevas capillas tardogóticas como la de San Sebastián (cuya portada se copia en su simétrica de San Agustín), la de la Anunciación y la de Santa Ana; la aparición de las primeras capillas de estilo renacentista, entre las que destacan la espléndida de San Miguel (1523) con embocadura monumental en arco de triunfo realizada por el italiano Juan de Moreto, la de la Trinidad (1572), obra del magnífico escultor romanista Juan de Ancheta, la del obispo Baguer (1573), con sepulcro en arcosolio, y la de San jerónimo (1573), en el ábside septentrional.

  

A finales del siglo XVI (1598) se emprende el abovedamiento de la nave central, sustituyendo la anterior cubierta de madera, permitiendo de este modo la apertura de ventanales de iluminación. En este mismo año se encarga un retablo en piedra para el altar mayor, obras ambas contratadas con el arquitecto y escultor Juan de Bescós y finalizadas en la centuria siguiente.

 

A finales del siglo XVII se reconstruye el claustro, sustituyendo el románico, que por entonces presentaba un aspecto ruinoso por el actual de factura barroca, y se erige una nueva capilla dedicada a Santa Orosia, patrona de Jaca.

  

En el SIGLO XVIII aparecen o se reforman algunos altares, como el de San Agustín (1760) o el Santo Cristo (1767) y en sus últimos años se emprende la reforma de la cabecera, lo que supone, como ya se ha dicho, la destrucción del correspondiente ábside románico y el desmontaje del retablo mayor en piedra (cuyos fragmentos fueron repartidos por la catedral). El nuevo ábside recibió decoración pictórica (1793), que corrió a cargo del cartujo Manuel Bayeu.

 

En el SIGLO XX se traslada el coro a su ubicación actual en 1919. En 1931 fue declarada Monumento Nacional. En 1999 se redacta el Plan Director de la catedral.

such an expression

 

Alanis Morissette live @ Cavea Nuovo Teatro dell'Opera, Firenze

From time to time the Council receives enquiries about the general condition of Wolsey's Gate and about the possibility of moving it from its present location to some other part of Ipswich.

 

The Council's position is as follows:

 

Wolsey's Gate is not deteriorating any more than any other building in Ipswich (or elsewhere) that is approximately 478 years old. Indeed, all-in-all it is not in bad condition by comparison with, for example, the 19th Century when it was seriously choked with ivy.

 

The eroded condition of the coat of arms has been a problem for over 150 years and there is no accurate indication of exactly what it depicted even from engravings. Replacement or replication would now be pure conjecture but the remaining scant evidence of the original design is the ongoing subject of consolidation by a specialist.

 

The Gate is the subject of an annual detailed inspection and minor repair. The last major repairs, with English Heritage advice, were in 1996. Further consolidation of the stone panel and other associated works were undertaken by an experienced specialist conservator in late 2007/early 2008.

 

Although it is part of the Council's corporate estate, direct responsibility for future management of the Gate was made to the Council's Conservation Service in January 2006. Structural monitoring of the monument is currently being undertaken by English Heritage on our behalf.

 

Wolsey's Gate is a Scheduled Ancient Monument and the designation extends not just to the gateway but also to the return wall to St Peter's Churchyard connecting it to the church vestry.

 

The basis of all conservation thinking since the middle of the 19th Century, and particularly the passing of the Ancient Monuments Act 1882, is that monuments should be conserved in situ related to their historical context - in this case the below ground remains of Wolsey's College to the rear.

 

Any works to a Scheduled Ancient Monument require Scheduled Monuments Consent from the Secretary of State for Culture, Media & Sport, following advice from English Heritage and not from the Council.

 

Moving the Gateway - and the wall attached - notwithstanding the likely physical damage, would not be approved. Nor would the moving of any other standing Ancient Monument.

 

There is ongoing communication with the owner of the adjacent former Burtons site (including 1-5 College Street) about the setting of the monument, as they own the land to the immediate rear and this will continue. Any proposals for the development of that site will be the subject to the usual planning procedures.
