Description
Español: El poder de la propia ciudad frente a la Orden de Calatrava está simbolizado por su hermosa Casa Consistorial (1565-1570), construida en su plaza principal, formando ángulo con la Lonja gótica. Ambas construcciones fueron declaradas monumento histórico en 1931 (Gazeta de Madrid, número 155 de 04/06/1931). Este edificio, magnífico ejemplo clasicista, evoca al gran círculo de humanistas alcañizanos de su particular Siglo de Oro: Juan Sobrarias, Juan Lorenzo Palmireno, Bernardino Gómez Miedes, Domingo Andrés, Pedro Ruiz de Moros y Andrés Vives y Altafulla, por citar los más destacados (a los que se dedica un artículo en esta obra). El siglo XVI deja también su huella en el propio castillo —con el sepulcro de alabastro del comendador don Juan de Lanuza, realizado por Damián Forment en 1537— y en las tablas conservadas en su templo parroquial atribuidas al “Maestro de Alcañiz”. Son también magníficos ejemplos del mundo artístico alcañizano del siglo XVI la iglesia de Santo Domingo —en la que se funden la tradición gótica con el nuevo lenguaje renacentista— y un buen número de edificios palaciegos.
English: The power of the city itself against the Order of Calatrava is symbolized by its beautiful Town Hall (1565-1570), built in the main square, forming an angle to the Gothic Lonja. Both buildings were declared historical monument in 1931 (Gazeta de Madrid, No. 155, 04/06/1931). This building, a magnificent classical example, evokes the great circle of humanists alcañizanos their particular Golden Age: John sonarías, Juan Lorenzo Palmireno, Miedes Bernardino Gómez, Domingo Andrés, Pedro Ruiz de Moros y Andrés Vives and Altafulla, to name the most prominent (which is devoted to an article in this volume). The sixteenth century also left its mark on the castle itself, with the alabaster tomb of the commander Don Juan de Lanuza by Damián Forment made in 1537 - and tables preserved in their parish church attributed to the "Master of Alcaniz. They are also fine examples of the art world alcañizano XVI century church of Santo Domingo in which blend tradition with the new language Gothic-Renaissance and a number of palatial buildings.
