I must confess I had never done similar work. So not know their difficulties, and maybe that's why I decided to tackle it. It was about making a model of Belchite Seminar. This time the emotional reasons overcame the difficulties. The first was to solve the problem of scale. Something would be achieved by visiting the ruins of the building, but I was able to travel to Belchite.
A lady asked me how I had determined and was amused when I answer "With cubero evil eye." Already
few people who knew this building. I published a book that I provided for the year 1986 some priests who passed through there, like Don Juan Gasca, Jose Conesa, Ángel Soler and Hilary Paris.
Mainly I have used photographs. There is one in which, after receiving several guns, is inside the building, which essentially consisted of a side hall and various rooms. Above all, I've learned sometimes make mistakes. So if I were to start now, I would do differently. Later
give account of the progress of my work is already yielding results. I'm working on the third floor (though I lack finish details of the first and second). I have almost finished the chapel of Our Lady of the Forsaken. The only memory I have of the seminar was localized in the sacristy where there were some priests who commented to my parents that I would go to study there (I remember wearing bonnets.)
The provision of some of the different units was different in the first period of operation as Seminary Priests. The intention of its founder was to encourage the removal of its inhabitants. Therefore in the charter said that because the primitive chapel house and there was no room necessary for the convenient removal silence the Saints made exercises and other functions available to build a room is quite capable of separate rooms.
However, when operated as a minor seminary, Archbishop García Gil preferred dormitories for students and over their relationship.
When was the Seminar for Priests (1726), following the clergy renewal movement begun by Francisco Ferrer, and there was a chapel dedicated to the souls in purgatory, first and Our Lady of the Abandoned in 1704. In its construction there was plenty of mud. In contrast, in the Seminary building best materials were used, mainly solid brick and stone. On the sides of the chapel, with buttresses, there were some rooms which subsequently used the service and reflected symbolically in the model.
