Hello @doriangel. I've already read many interesting stories in this community about sacred buildings in Venezuela that have undergone destructive earthquakes as part of their architectural history. What's amazing is that these remarkable monuments have survived and have remained standing until today. I'm truly glad this beautiful temple is one of them.
Is the interior balcony above the front entry door meant for the church choir?
If I forgot to mention, that balcony is intended for the church choir, I really like it, because I had never seen it located right at the entrance. It is true, at least in my region I believe that most of the churches, suffered as a result of this earthquake, they managed to rebuild it and with each remodeling and rehabilitation they try to preserve part of those colonial constructions.
Okay got it. I think, like most traditional cathedrals, basilicas, and churches I've visited, the choir section together with the pipe organ is situated at the rear. This allows for excellent acoustics within the interior. Thank you for this fabulous post! 😊
