Greetings dear friends of #ArchitectureandDesign, I hope you have a great start of the year.
In the last quarter of the year, work absorbed me so much that I did not have time to visit some places that interest me to be able to show them to you. However, in this opportunity, I want to show you the San Juan Bautista Parish Church, located in the town of San Juan, in the municipality of Diaz, in the state of Nueva Esparta, on Margarita Island. This church is right next to the Antonio Diaz park square, a charming place worth visiting.
Saludos queridos amigos de #ArchitectureandDesign, espero que tengan un inicio de año genial.
En el último trimestre del año, el trabajo me absorbió tanto que no tuve tiempo de visitar algunos lugares que me interesan para poder mostrárselos. Sin embargo, en esta oportunidad, les quiero enseñar la iglesia Parroquial San Juan Bautista, ubicada en la localidad de San Juan, en el municipio Díaz, en el estado Nueva Esparta, en la Isla Margarita. Esta iglesia está justo al lado de la plaza parque Antonio Díaz, un lugar encantador que merece la pena visitar.
This town has pleasantly surprised me with its beauty and cleanliness. It is the first time I have visited it and I have been very pleased.
From afar, the dome of this church caught my attention. Although its doors were closed, from the outside you can appreciate its beauty in all its splendor.
Este municipio me ha sorprendido gratamente con su belleza y limpieza. Es la primera vez que lo recorro y he quedado muy encantada.
Desde lejos, la cúpula de esta iglesia llamó mucho mi atención. Preguntando llegué, aunque tenía sus puertas cerradas, desde afuera se puede apreciar su belleza en todo su esplendor.
To approach the church, I went through the park that has a path of slabs that simulate stone, leading to the steps of terracotta-colored slabs, forming patterns on the ground that guide you to its huge door. The façade of the church is really beautiful. At the bottom, it is decorated with slabs that simulate stone, its columns end in a triangular shape with a relief border, which together makes it look really majestic.
Para acercarme a la iglesia, pasé por el parque que tiene un camino de losas que simulan piedra, que llevan a los escalones de losas color terracota, formando dibujos en el suelo que te guían hasta su enorme puerta. La fachada de la iglesia es realmente hermosa. En la parte inferior, está decorada con losas que simulan piedra, sus columnas terminan en forma triangular con una cenefa de relieve, lo que en conjunto la hace ver realmente majestuosa.
The walls are nicely painted in warm colors, and you can see the care with which it is cared for. The church has three large doors of thick varnished wood, with two arched leaves. Two of them have their entire edge decorated and painted white, which highlights their elegant design.
Las paredes están muy bien pintadas con colores cálidos, y se puede notar el esmero con el que la cuidan. La iglesia tiene tres grandes puertas de madera gruesa barnizada, de dos hojas en forma de arco. Dos de ellas tienen todo su borde adornado y pintado de blanco, lo que resalta su elegante diseño.
On the opposite wall, right next to the door, is inlaid the name of the church in silver letters.
En la pared de enfrente, justo al lado de la puerta, tiene incrustado el nombre de la iglesia en letras plateadas.
At the top of the door, there is a cross followed by a circular wood and stained glass window that is simply beautiful.
En la parte superior de la puerta, hay una cruz seguida de una ventana circular de madera y vidrios de colores que es simplemente hermosa.
On the ceiling, right in the middle of the main door, is the beautifully painted plaster image of John the Baptist, the patron saint of the church.
En el techo, justo en el medio de la puerta principal, está la imagen de yeso muy bien pintada de Juan Bautista, el santo patrón de la iglesia.
In addition, the church has eight arched windows, made of wood and colored glass, reinforced with iron bars, which gives it a very special touch.
Además, la iglesia cuenta con ocho ventanales en forma de arco, hechos de madera y cristales de colores, reforzados con rejas de hierro, lo que le da un toque muy especial.
The roof is tiled, as is the roof of the dome, which has ten small arched windows with ornate borders. Next to the church, in the closest areas of the park, there are large oak trees that provide fabulous shade, creating a very pleasant environment for visitors.
El techo es de tejas, al igual que el techo de la cúpula, la cual tiene diez ventanas pequeñas en forma de arco con sus bordes adornados. Junto a la iglesia, en las áreas más próximas del parque, hay grandes robles que proporcionan una sombra fabulosa, creando un ambiente muy agradable para los visitantes.
The church also has a beautiful bell tower, on the top of which there is a cross that can be seen from far away. I know this because, to get to the church, I was guided by it, since it can be seen from very distant points. According to what a local told me, the access to the bell tower is through the inside of the church, and the students of the parish school are in charge of ringing the bells every day.
La iglesia también tiene un hermoso campanario, en cuya parte superior hay una cruz que se ve desde lejos. Sé esto porque, para llegar a la iglesia, me guié por ella, ya que se ve desde puntos muy distantes. Según me contó un lugareño, el acceso al campanario es por el interior de la iglesia, y los estudiantes del colegio parroquial se encargan de tocar las campanadas cada día.
Across the street, at the back of the church, is the parish school “María Inmaculada”, which complements the church, as do the locals who zealously take care of it.
Cruzando la calle, en la parte trasera de la iglesia, está el colegio parroquial "María Inmaculada", el cual complementa mucho a la iglesia, al igual que los lugareños que cuidan celosamente de ella.
As the church was closed, I already have a reason to return to the municipality and explore a little more, if beautiful was its exterior, the interior looks to be more beautiful.
Well, dear friends of #ArchitectureandDesign, I hope this beautiful local church is to everyone's liking. We will see you again in future publications.
See you soon.
Bye.
Como la iglesia estaba cerrada, ya tengo un motivo para regresar al municipio y explorar un poco más, si hermoso estuvo su exterior, el interior Se vé ser más hermoso.
Bueno, queridos amigos de #ArchitectureandDesign, espero que esta hermosa iglesia local sea del agrado de todos. Nos volveremos a ver en próximas publicaciones.
Hasta pronto.
Chao.

Greetings friend, what a beautiful church, it has an excellent location surrounded by trees, it looks like something out of a story, I liked the dome and the tower.

It is really a very simple but nice Church and its environment makes it look more beautiful, thank you @belkyscabrera for your words, have a nice day 🌹🌷🏵️🌼🌸🪻🪷🌻💮🥀💐🌺🍀
Oh it's really a nice church, well in my opinion all churches have a special touch, and all have peculiar and interesting decorative elements and historical too!
And this one with palm trees around is very appealing! Thanks for sharing!

Same to you!!! 🤗
Greetings @taniagonzalez. It's a great pleasure to have you back in the Architecture+Design Community. Looking through your photos, the municipality of Diaz, its park square, and most importantly your featured church are indeed beautiful and spotless. The presence of nature's green elements certainly improved that neighborhood's aesthetic value. ☺️
The San Juan Bautista Parish Church has a simple exterior character, but is still captivating to experience. I wonder what architectural style it represents. Do you have an idea?
Thank you @storiesoferne for your words of welcome. It will always be a pleasure for me to publish in this community.
This Church is of a simple construction from what I could appreciate in its exterior, I tried to inquire about its style but the search was unproductive. I do not know its architectural style.
When I find the church with open doors I will ask the father they always have books and stories that no one knows, without hesitation I will show them.
I wish you a happy weekend 🌹🌷🏵️🌼🌸🪻🪷🌻💮🥀💐🌺🍀
No worries, that's alright @taniagonzalez Have an enjoyable weekend. ☺️
