XE3A4404 - Iglesia de Santiago – Santiago Church (Carmona, Sevilla)

Cuenta la tradición que el templo se construyó durante el reinado de Pedro I (S. XIV) y que su solar coincide con una vieja mezquita de la que se conserva el tercio inferior macizado del alminar.
En el S. XV se le añade el segundo cuerpo a la torre, decorada con un bello paño de “sebka” (decoración inspirada en la época almohade).
De esta misma fecha son el retablo mayor atribuido a Bernardo Simón de Pineda y la capilla de Jesús Nazareno.
El templo es de planta basilical dividida en tres naves, doble crujía con triple arcada apuntada y pilares cuadrangulares con gruesas columnas que soportaban la original techumbre de madera. Las reformas barrocas ocultaron las armaduras mudéjares originales con una bóveda de cañón con lunetos en la nave central y de arista en las laterales. Son bóvedas encamonadas, es decir, están hechas de yeso con un esqueleto de madera y no tienen función portante.
En el S. XVIII se culmina la torre con la construcción del campanario y es en esta época, en la que el templo sufre constantes reformas, unas motivadas por necesidades técnicas, a veces por necesidades culturales, otras por mero afán innovador.

Tradition has it that the church was built during the reign of king Peter I in the 14th century on part of the site of what had been a mosque, from which parts of the bottom third of the old minaret were retained.
In the 15th century, the second section was added to the tower, and part of the wall was decorated with a beautiful ‘sebka’ (decorative motifs taking their inspiration from the Moorish Almohad period).
The main altarpiece – attributed to Bernardo Simón de Pineda – and the chapel of Jesus of Nazareth also date from this period.
The church has a basilica floor plan divided into three naves, a double bay with triple pointed arches and quadrangular pillars with thick columns that supported the original wooden roof. The Baroque alterations effectively hid the original Mudejar construction with a barrel vault with lunettes in the central nave, and groin vaults in the side naves. These are barrel vaults, i.e. they are made of plaster with a wooden skeleton and have no wall-bearing, support function.
In the 18th century the tower was completed with the construction of the belfry and it was at this time that the church underwent a period of constant renovation, some alterations motivated by technical needs, sometimes by cultural needs, others by a mere desire to innovate.
