The Facade of Crusader's Transept of the Holy Sepulcher in Jerusalem
Reference@The Cathedral of Santiago de Compostela, Spain
Only remains of the reconstruction in the Romanesque style in 1009-10
The South Facade and Portico de las Platerias in the Romanesque style, 1078-1125,
almost the same age as the Church of the Holy Sepulcher.
Its two storied double opening facade is supposed to have something
to do with the Jerusalem Church. As this church dedicated to
the European patron saint, St. James, is the principal pilgrim site in Europe,
the memory of this facade could be applied
to the Church of the Holy Sepulcher by Crusader's architects.
