If you think of buildings as people, they will last a lifetime.

Hello everyone dear friends lovers of what is built by man, you do not know how happy it makes me to write this post, I also come from greeting them and wishing them the best of life to tell them, that the Church of San Miguel del Llano has been restored. Hurray!

A few days ago, I passed by this church that is undoubtedly an architectural landmark of the city and from afar I noticed that it looked more radiant and splendid than before, as I approached I was pleasantly surprised to see that they had given it a little love, so we can continue admiring this great work for much longer.

Hola a todos queridos amigos amantes de lo construido por el hombre, no saben lo feliz que me hace escribir este post, vengo además de saludarlos y desearles lo mejor de la vida a contarles, que la Iglesia San Miguel del Llano ha sido restaurada. ¡Hurra!

Hace unos días, pase cerca de esta iglesia que sin duda es un hito arquitectónico de la ciudad y desde lejos note que se veía más radiante y esplendida que antes, al acercarme me sorprendió gratamente ver que le habían dado un poco de cariño, así que podremos seguir admirando esta gran obra por mucho tiempo más.

This beautiful church is located in the Sector el llano of the city of Mérida, in my opinion, it is one of the most beautiful churches in the city and was one of the first churches that I wanted to share in the community, for this reason I will not stop to give details of its design, but I invite you to read them in this post . In the same post I talked about the different signs of deterioration that the church was presenting, among them was the detachment of the coating, the opaque paint, the deterioration of the doors and some details in its decorative elements, product of the humidity and of the exposure for so many years to the bad weather, added to the lack of maintenance.

Esta bonita iglesia esta ubicada en el Sector el llano de la ciudad de Mérida, bajo mi punto de vista, es una de las iglesias más hermosas de la ciudad y fue una de las primeras iglesias que quise compartir en la comunidad, por esta razón no me detendré a dar detalles de su diseño, pero te invito a leerlos en este post. En este mismo post hable sobre las diferentes muestras de deterioro que estaba presentando la iglesia, entre ellas era el desprendimiento del revestimiento, la pintura opaca , el deterioro de las puertas y algunos detalles en sus elementos decorativos, producto de la humedad y de la exposición por tantos años a la intemperie, sumados a la falta de mantenimiento.


I like to think of buildings as if they had a little of our humanity, anyway they are a part of vital importance in our lives, I think a structure works like the human body and, like this, it wears out with the passage of time and this wear is more and more noticeable with the passage of years. Buildings, like us, have a useful life, that is, a considerable amount of time in which it is supposed to be well, unless extraordinary situations occur, such as earthquakes, for example.

But they have an incredible advantage over us and that is that this life span can be extended and extended as long as it is taken care of correctly. This is where the word "Maintenance" becomes important in construction. I know two types of maintenance: preventive, which is the one that most people forget, and corrective, which happens when there are already damages.

This church had gone through many years without any kind of maintenance and I sincerely rejoice that they acted in time, here without a doubt they applied both types of maintenance. Now the different decorative elements of its design inspired by the neo-Gothic style look more beautiful and stand out much more.

Me gusta pensar en las edificaciones como si tuviesen un poco de nuestra humanidad, de todos modos son una parte de vital importancia en nuestra vida, pienso que una estructura funciona como el cuerpo humano y al igual que este se va desgastando con el paso del tiempo y este desgaste es cada vez notorio con el paso de los años. Las edificaciones al igual que nosotros tienen un periodo de vida útil, es decir una cantidad de tiempo considerable en la que se supone que debería estar bien, a menos que pasen situaciones extraordinarias, como los sismos por ejemplo.

Pero tienen una ventaja increíble con respecto a nosotros y es que este periodo de vida útil, puede extenderse y extenderse en la medida que se le cuide correctamente. Es aquí es donde la palabra "Mantenimiento" cobra importancia en la construcción. Conozco dos tipos de mantenimiento : El preventivo que es , el que la mayoría olvida y el correctivo, que sucede cuando ya existen daños.

Esta iglesia había pasado por muchos años sin ningún tipo de mantenimiento y sinceramente, me alegra mucho que hayan actuado a tiempo, aquí sin duda aplicaron ambos tipos de mantenimiento. Ahora los distintos elementos decorativos de su diseño inspirados en el estilo neogótico se ven mas hermosos y destacan mucho mas.


They restored the frieze on their walls, the entablature, the cornices, the frames of the window loopholes, they look smooth without holes. I think it was an excellent team work, full of patience and dedication, taking into account the amount of details that adorn the facade of this beautiful temple.

There are still some things to do, like replacing or restoring some wooden doors, which have not escaped from moisture, but I hope it will be the next thing they do. I hope they continue to carry out maintenance and restoration work on these works that are a heritage and that are part of our architectural identity.

Restauraron el friso de sus paredes, el antepecho, las cornisas, los marcos de los ojales de las ventanas, se ven lisos sin agujeros. Pienso que fue un excelente trabajo en equipo, llenos de mucha paciencia y dedicación, tomando en cuenta la cantidad de detalles que engalanan la fachada de este bello templo.

Aún faltan algunas cosas por hacer, como sustituir o restaurar algunas puertas de madera, que no se han escapado de la humedad, pero espero sea lo siguiente que hagan. Espero sigan realizando trabajos de mantenimiento y restauración en estas obras que son un patrimonio y que forman parte de nuestra identidad arquitectónica.

Hello friend, excellent publication.
It is so magical the maintenance of man, both preventive and corrective, provide a 180 degree turn, for example a button.
The church is beautiful, it is a beautiful work of art, with Roman features, where they raised beautiful castles with different mozaicos on its edges or centres, to give it a unique style that carries a background.
The importance of maintenance in everything is crucial, as it brings it to life and allows you to explore its history which is interesting, for art lovers.
Happy and blessed weekend to you.
