Main Article Content
Abstract
The ‘sacromontes’ are a common feature in various Catholic countries and serve an essentially devotional purpose: to reconstruct, through painted and sculpted representations, scenes from the Passion of Christ, integrated into sacred urban complexes located on hills near cities. The Sacromonte in Granada is different in its conception and artistic-religious scheme, originating in an attempt to reconcile the two cultures inhabiting the city, Muslim and Christian, based on the bones, remains and writings on lead plates found there at the end of the 16th century. These did not serve the purpose conceived by their Moorish inventors, but were used by Christians to defend the antiquity and authenticity of their religious roots.
