Resumo(s)
En la primera mitad de la década de 1950, el gran arquitecto restaurador portugués
Baltazar Castro llevó a cabo una obra de restauración en la Basílica del Buen Jesús en
Goa Vieja (India) que originaría un intenso debate de índole patrimonial que aún
persiste en nuestros días: mandó retirar el revoco exterior de la vetusta iglesia, dejando
la piedra a la vista. Aquello produjo un cambio radical en la imagen del monumento y
provocó problemas en su preservación. Desde entonces se mantiene una dura
controversia sobre la pertinencia de mantener la piedra descubierta o volver a revocar
las paredes, opciones que influyen no solo en la conservación de la basílica, sino
también en la imagen del monumento y de la ciudad. La comunicación propuesta
pretende analizar y debatir este caso sui géneris de salvaguardia patrimonial de un
monumento que los portugueses construyeron en la India y que restauraron a mediados
del siglo XX, aunque en la actualidad los indios se encargan de su mantenimiento.
In the first half of the 1950’s, the great Portuguese restorer Baltazar Castro performed a restoration in the Basilica of Bom Jesus in Old Goa (India) that caused an intense debate about patrimonial issues, which still continues today: Baltazar Castro removed the external plaster from the ancient church, leaving the stone uncovered. That action produced a radical change in the image of the monument, and at the same time provoked problems to its conservation. Since then, there is a huge debate about the relevance of maintaining the stone uncovered or plastering the church again, options that reflect not only the conservation of the basilica, but also the image of the monument and the city. This communication intends to analyze and discuss this singular case of patrimonial safeguarding of a monument built in India by Portuguese, restored in the middle of the XX century by them, and now maintained by the Indian Government.
