MariCarmen It is unlikely that the parish priest Aurelio Pérez, who lived and worked in Brihuega in the middle of the last century, would have visited Cappadocia at any time in his existence. It is not that his biography has been passed down to posterity in great detail, but on the contrary. The story of Cívica has turned the priest into a mysterious character who carried out an impressive but inexplicable work. If at some point the notebook that he always carried with him comes to light with notes about the famous Turkish region, it would not be so strange. The mention of Cappadocia is due to the fact that the priest built a village transcript reminiscent of Turkish buildings on a hillside in Guadalajara, apparently just because, for no other reason. For two decades, from the 50s to the 70s, every day after saying mass he traveled to said enclave with a group of workers hired by himself to carve his architectural idea in the stone.
Civic Ruins of Cívica, Brihuega. By Jose Antonio This construction is called Cívica and is one of the mysteries that La Alcarria contains . It is impossible not to mention the Nobel Prize in Literature Cell Phone Number List Camilo José Cela when referring to this place, since it was one of the stops he made on his New Journey to La Alcarria , one of his best-known books. According to the writer: “ Cívica resembles a Tibetan village or the set of a Wagner opera . The traveler has never been to Tibet, but he imagines that his villages must be like this, solemn, miserable, almost empty, full of stairs and balustrades, hanging from the rocks and also pierced in the rock.
The religious, who was born in Valderrobres (Teruel), may have never left the limits of the Iberian Peninsula, but he did know that those pierced walls had been inhabited in the past. Hermits from the Middle Ages, Sephardic Jews, Templars who took shelter there after the breakup of the Temple Order or some Jerome monks. The latter would have built a short-lived paper factory of which some remains remain. Civic. By Jose Antonio Perhaps the verb know is a bit risky and it is better to use 'suppose' because there is no feasible proof (sometimes letting your imagination reign is more attractive). No one knows why Don Aurelio undertook the work of carving balustrades, arches and galleries in that cut rock, but he put in all his effort, in addition to his heritage. It is said that it was his way of investing an inheritance he had received but, ironically, he left no heirs. When he died, the place became the property of his housekeeper.
