My visit to the Church of St. Vincent de Paul, an architectural work that stands out for its beautiful interior design (Eng - Esp)
Hello traveling friends from all over the world, it is a pleasure to greet you, hoping you have an excellent day, I am happy to be able to share my visit to the San Vicente de Paúl church, this church is located between Arismendi Avenue and Castellón Street, crossing with 4 de Julio Street, it stands out for its beautiful design and environment surrounded by large trees, previously I visited this church but I could only observe the external part, since I saw it, I liked its shape and the small dome similar to a flower, on several occasions I passed by the area hoping to find it open, until I spoke with the gardener and he explained to me that in the morning from 9 am was the indicated time, since the cleaning day was over and there was attention to the public, the next day I returned again at the appointed time and very excited because I was finally going to see the inside of the church, before entering I took a short tour and observed the parish house, pastoral office and the beautiful garden, I was also impressed to see that the temple has four doors.
I loved the interior design, of the churches I have visited this is one of the most beautiful in the city, it has a circular shape at the top, even the structure of the temple is cylindrical, similar to the bohío, in the small dome there are several colorful columns that give it visibility and from the inside they add brightness and light to the enclosure, the roof is red, the walls are green that combine very well with the abundant vegetation of the surroundings, it also has a perimeter fence with green walls and black bars, these stand out for their fan shape, at the points where the bars and the main columns converge, the garden is large and there are several plants with beautiful flowers such as the trinitaria, yxora, cup of gold, among others that adorn the entrance of the church.
Hola amigos viajeros en todo el mundo, es un placer saludarles, deseando que tengan un excelente día, me siento feliz de poder compartir mi visita a la iglesia San Vicente de Paúl, esta iglesia se ubica entre la avenida Arismendi y calle Castellón, cruce con calle 4 de Julio, destaca por su hermoso diseño y entorno rodeado de grandes árboles, anteriormente visité esta iglesia pero solo pude observar la parte externa, desde que la vi, me gustó su forma y la pequeña cúpula similar a una flor, en varias oportunidades pasé por el sector esperando encontrarla abierta, hasta que conversé con el jardinero y me explicó que en la mañana a partir de las 9 era la hora indicada, pues ya había terminado la jornada de limpieza y había atención al público, al día siguiente volví nuevamente a la hora señalada y muy emocionada porque finalmente iba a conocer el interior de la iglesia, antes de entrar hice un pequeño recorrido y observé la casa parroquial, oficina pastoral y el hermoso jardín, además me impresionó ver que el templo tiene cuatro puertas.
El diseño interior me encantó, de las iglesias que he visitado esta es una de las más bonitas en la ciudad, tiene forma circular en la parte superior, incluso la estructura del templo es cilíndrica, similar al bohío, en la cúpula pequeña se ubican varias columnas coloridas que le dan vistosidad y desde el interior agregan brillo y luz al recinto, el techo es de color rojo, las paredes de color verde que combinan muy bien con la abundante vegetación del entorno, tiene además una cerca perimetral con paredes verdes y rejas negras, estas destacan por su forma de abanico, en los puntos donde convergen las rejas y las columnas principales, el jardín es amplio y hay varias plantas con lindas flores como la trinitaria, yxora, copa de oro, entre otras que adornan la entrada de la iglesia.
The doors are made of glass with golden frames, followed by a beautiful wooden door decorated with carved rectangles, at the top it has a triangular shape with blue and green stripes, from the central part where the dome is located the white columns that support the roof, which is made of wood and these end in a V shape when joining the walls, the floor is made of granite and the benches are brown and are located horizontally so that there is a corridor between the rows to move around, The windows are located between the concrete columns and being of glass they allow the passage of sunlight, which widely illuminates the enclosure, in the ceiling are also observed the air consoles and several lamps, the altar is decorated with carved stones on the wall, to access it has three black granite steps, next to the stairs is a cross decorated with purple ribbon, palms and some rocks.
Another view of the altar shows the elements of worship and a table with a white tablecloth in the central part, on the right side of the altar is a sculpture of St. Vincent mounted on a pedestal covered with a white tablecloth, the wooden ceiling rests on concrete columns, On the walls there are several pictures of saints and prominent figures of the church, taking as a reference the life of St. Vincent, who was born in France, the homonymous church is characterized by the realization of social work in the community, following the example of St. Vincent, who dedicated part of his life to noble causes to help the needy.
Las puertas son de vidrio con marcos dorados, seguidos de una linda puerta de madera decorada con rectángulos tallados, en la parte superior tiene forma triangular con franjas de color azul y verde, desde la parte central donde se ubica la cúpula se desprenden las columnas de color blanco que sostienen el techo, el cual es de madera y estas terminan en forma V al unirse a las paredes, el piso es de granito y los bancos son de color marrón ubicados de forma horizontal de tal manera que quede un pasillo entre las filas para desplazarse, las ventanas se ubican entre las columnas de concreto y al ser de vidrio permiten el paso de la luz solar, lo cual ilumina ampliamente el recinto, en el techo también se observan las consolas de los aires y varias lámparas, el altar está decorado con piedras labradas en la pared, para acceder cuenta con tres escalones de granito en color negro, al lado de las escaleras se encuentra una cruz decorada con cinta morada, palmas y algunas rocas.
En otra vista del altar se aprecian los elementos del culto y una mesa con mantel blanco en la parte central, al lado derecho del altar se encuentra una escultura de San Vicente montada sobre un pedestal cubierto con un mantel blanco, el techo de madera descansa en las columnas de concreto, en las paredes hay varios cuadros de santos y destacados personajes de la iglesia, tomando como referencia la vida de san Vicente, quien nació en Francia, la iglesia homónima, se caracteriza por la realización del trabajo social en la comunidad, siguiendo el ejemplo de san Vicente, el cual dedicó parte de su vida a nobles causas para ayudar a los necesitados.
After doing a little tour inside the church and observing the pews, the columns and the altar, we arrive to my favorite part, which is the dome, it is located in the central part and from this point we can observe the small colorful bars that adorn the dome, from it a beautiful lamp is detached, another view of the altar is also appreciated, the location of the benches and the different colors of granite that combines the floor, in the central part of the dome we can see a kind of circular grill in which the mentioned lamp is located, around it there is a white circle with golden edges and small divisions also of golden color, in the part of below of the lamp the image of San Vicente is observed framed in a circle of wood with adornments of golden color, and wooden canes that form a species of rudder, which has silver chains in each one of the tips of the bars, the circle where the image of San Vicente is, is of wood and is decorated with golden rays, around the head of San Vicente.
Definitely the dome is the great attraction of the church and although it has a simple design, its colorful columns and shape give it a unique and charming style, I loved the dome and the location of the concrete columns that complement the design creating a flower with large elongated white petals, I loved to see this dome is very beautiful, from the outside you can only see a small part of it, inside you can see its colors, shape and the image of San Vicente on the back, it is a great detail that caught my attention, I never imagined seeing his face under the dome.
Luego de hacer un pequeño recorrido por el interior de la iglesia y observar los bancos, las columnas y el altar llegamos hasta mi parte favorita, que es la cúpula, está ubicada en la parte central y desde este punto se pueden observar las pequeñas barras coloridas que adornan el domo, de ella se desprende una hermosa lámpara, se aprecia también otra vista del altar, la ubicación de los bancos y los diferentes colores de granito que combina el piso, en la parte central del domo podemos ver una especie de reja circular en la cual se encuentra la lámpara mencionada, alrededor de ella se encuentra un círculo blanco con los bordes dorados y pequeñas divisiones también de color dorado, en la parte de abajo de la lámpara se observa la imagen de San Vicente enmarcado en un círculo de madera con adornos de color dorado, y bastones de madera que forman una especie de timón, el cual tiene cadenas plateadas en cada una de las puntas de las barras, el círculo donde se encuentra la imagen de san Vicente, es de madera y está decorado con rayos dorados, alrededor de la cabeza de san Vicente.
Definitivamente la cúpula es el gran atractivo de la iglesia y aunque tiene un sencillo diseño, sus columnas coloridas y la forma le dan un estilo único y encantador, amé la cúpula y la ubicación de las columnas de concreto que complementan el diseño creando una flor con grandes pétalos alargados de color blanco, me encantó ver esta cúpula es muy hermosa, desde el exterior solo se aprecia una pequeña parte, ya dentro se observan sus colores, forma y la imagen de San Vicente en la parte posterior, es un gran detalle que llamó mi atención, jamás imaginé ver su rostro debajo de la cúpula.
¡Bendiciones!
Blessings!

The whole temple is very beautiful, but the dome has a beautiful design that gives it a lot of showiness.
Greetings @gpache, I agree with you the dome gives showiness to the temple, from the inside you can appreciate much better its details.
Happy night!
