Ambapur Stepwell

The step-well of Ambapur is a stepwell in the village of Ambapur, close to the state capital, Gandhinagar. The stepwell is believed to be built in the 15th century although it doesn't have any inscription. The step-well or 'Vav', as it is called in Gujarati, is intricately carved and is five stories in depth. Such step wells were once integral to the semi-arid regions of Gujarat as they provided basic water needs for drinking, washing and bathing. These wells were also venues for festivals and sacred rituals. Gallery References
Capela de Santa Catarina (Goa)

Die Kapelle der Heiligen Katharina (portugiesisch Capela de Santa Catarina) ist eine Kapelle zu Ehren der heiligen Katharina von Alexandrien in der indischen Stadt Velha Goa. Die Kapelle ist Teil des UNESCO-Weltkulturerbe-Ensembles „Kirchen und Klöster von Goa“ (s. Welterbe in Indien) und gilt als erstes römisch-katholisches Bauwerk in Indien. Sie gehört zum Erzbistum Goa und Daman. Geschichte Im Jahr 1510 stand der portugiesische Seefahrer Afonso de Albuquerque vor den Toren von Goa, damals unter der Herrschaft des Sultanats Bijapur. Direkt neben der goesischen Stadtmauer ließ Albuquerque eine kleine Kapelle errichten, die, nachdem die Portugiesen Goa am 25. November 1510 eingenommen hatten, der Heiligen Katharina von Alexandrien gewidmet wurde. Neben der Kapelle wurden später das königliche Krankenhaus und das heute noch stehende São Francisco-Kloster errichtet. Der erste Bau war ein schlichter Lehmbau mit Schilfdach. Albuquerque befahl jedoch eine nach seiner Ansicht angemessenere Kapelle zu errichten, wofür Reichtümer der Hauptmoschee von Goa genommen werden sollten. 1515 hatte der Vikar der Kapelle bereits genügend Mittel und einen ersten Entwurf für einen Steinbau, die Bauarbeiten begannen aber erst 1534. 1550 wurde die Kapelle auf Befehl des Kolonialgouverneurs Jorge Cabral neu errichtet. Eine Inschrift an der Kapelle erhalten berichtet davon: Anlässlich einer Ausstellung der Reliquien des Heiligen Franz Xaver, erhielt die Kapelle 1952 eine Grundsanierung nach Entwürfen des Architekten Baltasar de Castro, damaliger Beamter der portugiesischen Denkmal-Generaldirektion. Dies war Teil einer groß angelegten Renovierungsmaßnahme von Velha Goa. 1986 stufte die UNESCO die Kirche als Teil des Ensembles „Klöster und Kirchen von Goa“ als Weltkulturerbe ein. In der portugiesischen Denkmaldatenbank Sistema de Informação para o Património Arquitectónico, das auch Denkmale ehemaliger portugiesischer Kolonien umfasst, ist die Kathedrale mit der Nummer 11431 eingetragen. In der Datenbank des Archaeological Survey of India ist die Kathedrale mit der Nummer N-GA-5 eingetragen. Architektur Außen Die Kapelle hat einen viereckigen Grundriss mit nur einem Kirchenschiff. Die Fassade der Kapelle ist schlichten gehalten und durch Pilaster in drei Teile geteilt, zwei kleine Glockenturmaufsätze ergänzen die Fassade. Das Eingangstor befindet sich zentral in der Mitte und ist mit einem gerade Türsturz ausgestattet, darüber befindet sich ein kleines Fenster. Innenraum Der Innenraum der Kapelle besteht nur aus einem Kirchenschiff und einer steinernen Apsis sowie einem Gewölbedecke, ebenso aus Stein.

Capela de Santa Catarina (Goa)

A Capela de Santa Catarina é uma capela dedicada à Catarina de Alexandria, situada na cidade de Velha Goa, pertencente ao conjunto de Igrejas e Conventos de Goa. Foi a primeira construção cristã na Índia. História Em 1510, as tropas de Afonso de Albuquerque penetraram na cidade de Goa. Uma capela foi erguida junto à porta da muralha de Goa muçulmana, por onde os portugueses invadiram. Essa capela situava-se perto do local do Hospital Real, que se erguia a norte do Convento de São Francisco próximo do Arsenal e que não sobreviveu aos nossos dias, ou seja, respectivamente entre o local de armas e o centro da vida interior e mística. Era uma modesta construção de taipa e de cobertura de palha, que seguiu aos planos deixados por Afonso de Albuquerque e executados por Diogo Fernandes. Foi reconstruída em 1550 por ordem do governador Jorge Cabral. Em 1607, a capela voltou a passar por uma grande reforma. Durante o século XIX, esteve sob os cuidados dos Franciscanos, antes de retornar ao clero secular e à administração da Arquidiocese de Goa e Damão. Por ocasião da exposição das relíquias de São Francisco Xavier em 1952, foi o primeiro edifício a sofrer intervenção pelo arquiteto Baltasar de Castro, funcionário da Direção‑Geral dos Edifícios e Monumentos Nacionais, numa grande operação de restauro e saneamento de Goa Velha. Arquitetura Exterior Trata-se de um edifício de planta retangular com nave única, apresentando a cabeceira quadrangular. A volumetria é simples e a fachada com três corpos separados por pilastras. O corpo central possui uma porta axial de verga reta, em pedra, com frontão triangular interrompido, encimado por uma janela ladeado por duas torres sineiras de secção quadrangular e cobertura em telhado de duas águas. Interior O interior da igreja é de uma só nave, sendo a capela-mor de pedra, com teto em forma cilíndrica de tonel, também em pedra. Notas Referências Fontes Tereno, Maria do Céu Simões (2014).

Église Notre-Dame-du-Rosaire de Vieux-Goa

L’Église Notre-Dame-du-Rosaire est un édifice religieux catholique sis à Vieux-Goa en Inde. Construite en 1543 et devenue rapidement paroissiale puis collégiale l’église est le plus ancien des édifices religieux de Goa qui ait survécu sans modification majeure. L’église fait partie des Églises et couvents de Goa, un site archéologique et groupe de monuments classés en 1986 au Patrimoine mondial de l'Unesco. Histoire Construite de 1544 à 1547 par Afonso de Albuquerque en accomplissement d’un vœu, l’édifice est le plus ancien des bâtiments religieux du Vieux-Goa ayant survécu sans modification majeure. C’est ce qui explique son aspect très différent et sa grande sobriété de style. De l’extérieur l’église a l’aspect d’une petite forteresse. Le porche d’entrée est flanqué de quatre tourelles d’angle de hauteur différente, cylindriques avec coupole et sans ouverture, de style gothique. Les voûtes des chapelles intérieures rappellent le style manuélin. C’est de cette colline occidentale du Vieux-Goa qu’Afonso de Albuquerque supervisa la reconquête de Goa le 25 novembre 1510. En souvenir de l’événement il fixa une plaque commémorative dans la mur de la tourelle de droite : « DESTE ALTO ASSISTIU AFFONSO DE ALBUQUERQUE EM 25-XI-1510 A RECONQUISTA DE GOA » Dans le sanctuaire, adossé à un des murs latéraux, se trouve un cénotaphe d’alabastre de style persan avec l’inscription : "AQUI IAZ DONA CATIRINA, MOLHER DE GARCIA DE SÁ, A QUAL PEDE A QUEM ISTO LER QUE PEÇA MISIRICÓRDIA A DEOS PARA SUA ALMA" (Ci-git Dona Catarina, épouse de Garcia de Sa, laquelle demande à celui qui lit ceci qu’il demande à Dieu miséricorde pour son âme) Sur le sol, devant le cénotaphe de Catherine a Piro se trouve la pierre tombale de Garcia de Sá (mort en 1549), son époux, qui fut gouverneur général de l’Inde portugaise de 1548 à 1549.

Igreja de Nossa Senhora do Rosário (Goa Velha)

A Igreja de Nossa Senhora do Rosário é um templo católico, a mais antiga igreja ainda em pé em Velha Goa. Faz parte do conjunto pertencente ao patrimônio da Humanidade de Igrejas e Conventos de Goa. História A construção da igreja foi motivada por Afonso de Albuquerque, que ao saber da conquista da cidade de Goa, teria prometido edificar uma ermida a Nossa Senhora do Rosário no lugar onde se encontrava, ou seja, no topo noroeste do Monte Santo, próximo da estrada que liga a Velha Goa a Pangim. As informações sobre sua construção não são claras, mas segundo um documento de 1774, oficiais do reino estiveram na igreja. Numa carta de 1548 para o rei João III de Portugal, os membros da Confraria de Nossa Senhora do Rosário parecem indicar que a igreja atual resultou da ampliação da ermida original. Arquitetura Exterior O pórtico da igreja, em dois pavimentos, é flanqueado por torres cilíndricas com cúpulas encimadas por cruzes e janelas nos altos, dando a impressão de uma fortaleza. Destaca-se a torre-fachada de três pisos, com contrafortes cilíndricos nos cantos frontais e torres igualmente cilíndricas nos ângulos com a nave. A torre sul contém uma escada em caracol de acesso ao coro alto, no segundo piso da torre‑fachada, e a torre norte encerra no seu piso térreo a capela batismal. No último piso da torre-fachada, marcado nas esquinas por colunelos, abrem-se janelas de volta inteira, onde estão suspensos sinos. Interior No interior, há duas capelas e três altares, com uma imagem de Nossa Senhora do Rosário no altar principal. O estilo gótico manifesta-se na abóbada do pórtico e da capela-mor, já o estilo manuelino encontra-se presente tanto no exterior como no interior do templo, sobretudo nas molduras dos portais. Na capela-mor, além do retábulo dedicado a Nossa Senhora do Rosário, há na parede um cenotáfio de alabastro esculpido em estilo persa ou hindu, com a inscrição: "Aqui jaz Dona Catarina, mulher de Garcia de Sá, a qual pede a quem isto ler que peça misericórida a Deus para sua alma". No pavimento abaixo encontra-se a campa de Garcia de Sá (morto em 1549), sucessor de João de Castro como Governador da Índia.
