The building, from the early third century, had two floors but now retains only the lower or crypt that is almost in its original form except the central part of the vault that was lost when the old chapel was demolished Christian who occupied the upper floor. Upper deck remains only part of the wall traces the vault starts cover in bricks.
The crypt, ground perfectly square, has an exterior length of 12 meters across. Its structure has two external walls, the exterior that performs the function of containment of the land surrounding it on three sides, and one inside to support the vault of the central chamber. Between the two walls there is a narrow corridor that runs along three sides of the building and which has at its ends two small windows to the outside as ventilation openings.
The crypt has a single exterior facade, it has a small courtyard that leads to the entrance of the lower enclosure.
La fachada al atrio, además de la puerta de entrada en arco de herradura, posee dos pequeñas ventanas que iluminan la sala interior en la que se encuentra en el centro un estanque de planta rectangular de poca profundidad. Esta estancia poseía una bóveda de ladrillos cerámicos que era soportada por dos pórticos de tres arcos apoyados en dos columnas de mármol y dos ménsulas sobre los muros de fachada y posterior. Toda la bóveda se encuentra decorada por pinturas sobre estuco en varios colores que representan aves diversas. En ambos laterales de la sala existen dos pequeñas hornacinas o cella.
In the center back there is an arch that allows access to a perimeter corridor throughout the crypt and in which there was a ladder that down from the top floor.
TOP FLOOR
The current situation of the whole, in part by the disastrous intervention carried out during the eighties without any sensitivity and knowledge, and partly by the inevitable passage of time, does not You can check the structural composition of the original building on the top floor.
The shrines to the goddess Cybele had a specific and distinctive architecture linking ritual and architectural symbols. I was able to recover some old pictures of the interior, prior to the painful rehabilitation, which can be seen that the existing roof at the time, seventies, had a key hole in his upstairs allowed to communicate with the crypt, in the image frames referred to the side that supported the roof were already fallen. This image provides a closer approach to time that should be the original architectural form.
order to understand propose the structure best delayed two thousand years in time and observe carefully the Roman coin Salutatis dedicated to the Blessed Mother, the Magna Mater, which you can see the Roman goddess Cybele in her sanctuary on the Palatine hill, the Vatican called Phrygianum. It shows the goddess seated on a throne, with its characteristic features in their hands and two lions guard the place on both sides. These figures are on a small podium and under a structure of arches and columns. From the architectural point of view this image suggests a building with a deck consisting of at least three different-sized domes. However, if we look more closely we can see that the etching the way the lower front staircase is drawn shows that the etching is made with the intent of a rudimentary perspective.
Therefore, if we maintain that standard in the rest of the picture we reach the conclusion that perhaps the upper arches are in a position different depths, like the staircase, which is nearest to the observer that the lower superior.
FRIGRIO VATICAN IN ROME-CENTURY CURRENCY DC
I tested with this criterion can check numismatic recorded a clear similarity between the Roman temple and the building Lugo.
currency perspective reminds us vision of the various arches and columns that originally existed in the building of Santa Eulalia. We can see in the old currency five of the six columns that should exist in the sanctuary of Lugo. Two in the entrance hall and four keeping the door inside the building. In the author probably recorded superimposed Roman of them to choose a side view of the assembly to provide in-depth view of the temple.
's explanation for the worship of the goddess Cibeles required a singular architecture in their sanctuaries has been explained indirectly by Professor Pilar González Serrano in their investigation "" La Cibeles, Our Lady of Madrid ", in it the research presents a picture that represents the central point of their faith, when running on taurobolium or baptism with the blood of a sacrificed bull. The teacher presents the realization of the mystery-rite over a crypt dug directly into the soil where the devotee is positioned, and above it the priests, on a wooden board pierced, animal sacrifice and blood and falling directly on the devotee.
TAUOBOLIO RITUAL IMAGE
Drawing on research provided can approach the true value of the special architecture that can see both the old currency as the building of Santa Eulalia.
The rite Cibeles needed an architecture that would perform separately and simultaneously matching the sacrifice of the bull and the baptism of the devotee. To do this in the top of the building, was located the place of sacrifice, covered by a barrel vault and a board holes on the bottom dome opening, this opening was consistent with the place they should occupy the central key thereby generating a structural imbalance in the vault of the crypt. The lack of the necessary key instead produced in the whole trend liable to collapse, we add to this that there was overcharging for the use of sacrificing a bull and the priests needed to perform the operation ritual.
This state of charge on a non-key vault was determined by a complementary structure in the form of felling on the vault of the crypt. The two porches collected longitudinally divided proportionately vault charges, both own and use the upper floor, while the columns necessary to support symbolic offered complementary architectural value in the place where the devotee had received the baptism repair, and the small pool is framed by four Corinthian columns.
addition, as necessary solution, the pool that had received the baptism the devotee had a natural water system inside that allowed the cleaning of the blood produced in the slaughter. This is documented in the successive reforms carried out on the pavement of the sanctuary, the existence of several boxes of catchment and sanitation channels that allow the permanent collection of water crossing the floor of the building and probably had no other function than the permanent sanitation in the central pool of blood remains produced in the baptism ritual.
The author has proven to be a necessary condition of buildings dedicated to the goddess of the existence of a water table close to the ground floor inside the crypts and that this water is running, allowing a permanent sanitation of the shrines after the baptisms performed inside.
