Sebasti\u00e3o Necropolis, where the St. Sebastian Chapel and Necropolis unit is located.<br \/>\nRegarding the Exhibition, the organisation explains: &#8216;<em>the birth of Jesus is considered in much of the Western world as the event that ushered in a new era. The impact of Christianity was not only limited to religion or worship, as it also extended to many of the rhythms of life and cultural expressions underlying the formation of Western societies.<\/em><br \/>\n<em>But how did that happen? How did the expression of Christianity evolve, from the small initial symbols linked to the funerary world to the great cathedrals and pilgrimage centres of the medieval world? What was the role of Christianity in the political, economic, social and cultural transformations that led to the end of the Roman Empire and the beginning of a new era?<\/em><br \/>\n<em>Through iconic works of Mediterranean Christianity, the exhibition, which can be visited at the headquarters of the Centro de Creaci\u00f3n Contempor\u00e1nea de Andaluc\u00eda (C3A), at Sala Vimcorsa and the Mosque-Cathedral, proposes an innovative overview that ranges from the Christianisation of the Roman Empire to the full development of the new religion in the Mediterranean during the 5th and 6th centuries, coinciding with the consolidation of the barbarian kingdoms and the subsequent intention of Emperor Justinian to restore the territories of the Western Roman Empire<\/em>\u201d.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The &#8216;Cambio de Era &#8211; C\u00f3rdoba y el Mediterr\u00e1neo Cristiano&#8217; (Change of Era &#8211; Cordoba and the Christian Mediterranean) exhibition, organised by Ayuntamiento de C\u00f3rdoba, opens on 16 December in Cordoba and will be on display at Sala Vimcorsa, Centro de Creaci\u00f3n Contempor\u00e1nea de Andalucia C3A and at the Mosque-Cathedral until March 2023.
