The Basilica of Santa Teresa still unfinished after the Bishop of Salamanca has decided to stop their work to restart them two years, although the temple was begun in the late nineteenth century .

hopes to complete this building was resumed in 2007, when from the curia Salamanca was decided to restart an unfinished building and construction began in 1898, but everything is gone after failing to "gifts" to complete the temple .

The architect of the reform, Ricardo Pérez Navarro, said that "it will close one of the gateways to the reconstructed" and at that time, "two months", he will be once over, parked the rehabilitation project and completion of the Basilica.

This temple began to be built in 1898, a project of Bishop Thomas House, to guard the body of Saint Teresa, who died in Alba on October 4, 1582 and was to have large dimensions, as was designed for the main dome could be seen from Salamanca .

Salamanca architect Ricardo Pérez Navas was commissioned to complete the unfinished work in 1999, 70 years after the lack of money forced them to stop their work for the first time.

Although the architect is commissioned in 1999, the works will not restart again until 2007, when in November he presented the project to what is going to need 4.3 million euros, according to said at the time the vicar general of Salamanca, Florentino Gutierrez.

But it was "impossible" to raise that amount, so the diocese, which contributed one million, has decided to stop again a few works that have succeeded in concluding the cruise and the head of the Basilica.

The original idea of \u200b\u200bVillamayor sandstone has given way to brick and wood, which closed a portion of the temple, which "amounts to a third of the entire building, which occupied 3,000 meters plan , as pointed out Ricardo Pérez Navas.

These days, the masons are finishing the enclosure Gothic arch door that will make this part of the temple, for which the works were made as to their origins, to rub the stone once placed on the facade.

In this part of the Basilica were also designed stained glass windows, which would be "a unique example in the world in recognition of the excellence of women who, like Santa Teresa, played a decisive role in the Church" was said from the diocese for two years. But that idea has run into a glass to "shed light and clarity" to the base of the cruise, as recognized by the architect, intended to be used by the Church, although the original idea would be the place where he deposited the relics of Santa Teresa.
