It has been hard work but the restoration of the paintings of the largest church in Mahón is already finished.
The Church of Santa Maria Mahon, was built between 1748 and 1772 on the
site of a thirteenth-century Gothic church. The interior is neo-Gothic
style, with a single vaulted nave, has many side chapels dedicated to
different saints. Outside we find a very simple decor, with a bell tower
and the door that opens onto a small enclosed space.
It has an
impressive organ built in 1810 by masters Francisco Otter and Joan
Kiburz from Barcelona. It´s 15 meters high and 9 meters wide. It has
four keyboards and 3006 pipes sound (197 are made of wood and the
remaining of metal).
All pictures by Andreu Murillo.
