Spain, 1000–1200: Art at the Frontiers of Faith

This short film presents rare footage of the apse at its original site in the Castilian countryside, where dismantling the structure required meticulously numbering and crating each of its nearly 3,300 stone pieces.

This 28-minute documentary chronicles the dismantling of the 12th-century apse from the church of San Martín in Fuentidueña, Spain, and its reconstruction at The Met Cloisters between 1958 and 1961.
