SANTANYI MAGAZINE 06

Santanyí magazine 31 ··· In 2006 the parish museum of Santanyí opened its doors. There were a small collection of liturgical art and an adequately suitable space available, wherefore it was possible to accomplish this project. The museum is located in the nave aisle of the Roser-Church built in the 16th century. Without making any concessions to ornaments you can see fortification elements in the exterior because they had to defend the edification against assaults committed by the Saracens from North-Africa as it was laying outside the town walls. The collection hosted in the museum is defined by the necessities of the parish and encompasses the 13th century to the 20th century. An interesting part of the inheritance offers the gold work section with a 15th century pyxis and two 16th century chalices, made in Mallorca. Other pieces from eras not ThE PARISh MUSEUM OF SANTANYÍ
