The Xunta de Galicia has reached an agreement with the Santa María la Real Foundation to bring Romanesque art to new audiences. The initiative includes seminars, online courses, and podcasts. The goal is to make this heritage, scattered across churches and monasteries, better known outside the academic sphere and accessible to residents and visitors.
Podcasts and online courses to digitize heritage 🎧
The collaboration relies on digital tools to overcome geographical barriers. The online courses will allow flexible access to content on Romanesque architecture and iconography. The podcasts, meanwhile, offer a light format for exploring stories and construction details. This strategy aims to create an audio and academic archive that can be consulted without needing to travel to the monuments.
From podcast to stone: a shortcut to skip visiting the church 🛋️
Finally, you can learn everything about Galician Romanesque art without leaving your couch. Forget about the dampness of churches or having to get up early to see a capital. Now, with a podcast, you can learn the story of the abacus and the drum while washing the dishes. Of course, don't complain later if during the actual visit you don't even recognize the semicircular arch.
