The Chapel of São Frutuoso ((ポルトガル語:Capela de São Frutuoso)), also known as the Chapel of São Frutuoso of Montélios ((ポルトガル語:Capela de São Frutuoso de Montélios)) or the Chapel of São Salvador of Montélios ((ポルトガル語:Capela de São Salvador de Montélios)), is a pre-Romanesque chapel in the civil parish of Real, municipality of Braga. It is part of group of religious buildings that include the Royal Church, and originally built by the Visigoths in the 7th century, in the form of a Greek cross. Since 1944, it has been classified as a National Monument ((ポルトガル語:Monumento Nacional)). ==History== Based on historical accounts, and oral tradition, the site of the chapel was (around 560 A.D.) the location of a small Roman villa and, likely, a temple dedicated to the god Asclepius. In 656, Fructuosus of Braga, then Bishop of Bracara, founded on this site the Monastery of São Salvador, ordering the construction of the chapel, as his tomb. In the biography of his life, São Valerius confirms as much, mentioning that the saint who founded the convent was buried there (between 665 and 666).〔 In the 9th-10th century, the chapel was reconstructed and redecorated.〔 From a document dated in 883, the chapel was reconsecrated to ''São Salvador'', also affirming the original construction to between 656 and 665.〔 Around the 12th century, following the Reconquista from the Arabs, with the revival of the Christian community and affinity for ''Saint'' Frutuoso of Braga, a cult to the saint was begun. In 1102, the Archbishop of Santiago de Compostela, D. Diogo Gelmires, transferred the mortal remains of Frutuoso to Compostela.〔 In 1523, Archbishop D. Diogo de Sousa founded the Franciscan convent of the Order of the ''Capuchos da Piedade'', alongside the chapel of São Frutuoso, likely destroying the older Monastery of São Salvador.〔 From notes by friar Manuel de Monforte (in 1696), in his ''Crónica da Província da Piedade'' (''Chronicle of the Province of Piedade''), the chapel ''"is in (shape of a cross ) with all sides equal; whose points form four chapels, whose walls close in a half-circle. One of the chapels, which one can call the foot of the cross, serves as the entrance where the door is; another which rightly corresponds to this one, as the head of the cross, serves as the principal chapel, or where the altar is; in the other two, which are the arms, are the two collateral altars; having both about 17 palms, and half a square, in this so small space this church has 24 columns: four at the main entrance to the door, six in each collateral chapel, and eight in the main of all..."''.〔 In 1728, by order of Archibishop D. Rodrigo de Moura Teles, the beginnings of a reconstruction and remodelling of the Convent of São Francisco's Church is undertaken, with the chapel of São Frutuoso integrated into the Church.〔 From this point forward, the Chapel is accessible from the main Church, owing to significant alterations; this changes include, the destruction of the main façade, the modification of the eastern and western arms of the Latin cross-design; and alterations to the internal columns, including changes to the baldachins.〔 It was architect Ernest Korrodi who first promoted the recuperation of the original plan for the chapel (in 1897), publishing a small note entitled ''"Um Monumento Latino-Bizantino em Portugal"'' (''A Latin-Byzantine Monument in Portugal'').〔 More than a century would pass, before João de Moura Coutinho e Sousa Lobo would begin to restore the original plan in 1931.〔 The architect followed the original hypothesis that the chapel was ordered constructed by Fructuosus of Braga as his 6th century tomb, following a model/design aesthetic based on the mausoleum Galla Placidia in Ravenna.〔 This redesign was followed by the DGEMN reconstruction of cupola and roof in 1939, again in 1941, repairs in 1958, that included the reconstruction of the walls, door, plastering of the copula and several projects around the churchyard. In 1961, the pavement, main arch, reconstruction of the staircase and consolidation of the vaulted ceiling were undertaken, followed by conservation projects in 1966.〔 Similar repairs were undertaken in 1970 (repair and cleaning of the roof), in 1973 (checking of the rood, repairs, painting conservancy and arrangement of the area around the chapel), in 1984 (arrangement of the roof and paintings) and in 1987 (new projects evolving conservancy). 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Chapel of São Frutuoso」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
