Abstract

El esplendor de la arquitectura y las magníficas obras que albergan los templos –pinturas, esculturas, yeserías, etc.–, eclipsa el de otras no menos importantes e igualmente significativas, que sin ellas no se puede entender todo el conjunto. De esta forma toman protagonismo las sacristías, espacios destinados a custodiar los objetos de uso litúrgico que se fueron incrementando y enriqueciendo progresivamente, debido al auge que experimentó la liturgia y con ello el uso de un ajuar cada vez más rico y numeroso, destinado a satisfacer el boato impuesto por la Contrarreforma. Así, las sacristías y su amueblamiento pasaron de ser meros espacios funcionales a recintos de gran importancia en el interior de los templos.
The splendor of the architecture and the magnificent works that the temples house –paintings, sculptures, plasterwork, etc.– eclipses other not less important and equally significant works, which without them, the entire ensemble cannot be understood. In this way, the sacristies, spaces destined to guard the objects of liturgical use, take the most important role and were progressively increasing and enriching, due to the boom experienced by the liturgy and, with it, the use of an increasingly rich and numerous trousseau, destined to satisfy the pageantry imposed by the Counter-Reformation. Thus, the sacristies and their furnishings went from being mere functional spaces to rooms of great importance inside the temples.
