Keine Antike? Überlegungen zur faschistischfranquistischen Monumentalarchitektur in Spanien
-
Walther L. Bernecker
Abstract
The essay deals with Francoist architecture and asks, if this architecture had a political function. The Francoist monuments are compared with those of the other fascist regimes in Germany and Italy. In the conception of the Francoist state architecture, the Roman antiquity played an important role, but this role was by far less important than in the national-socialist German and in the fascist Italian cases. In the three selected cases, the architecture was put in the service of the ideology of the State and regime. But in the case of Spain, it took much time until the regime opted for a neoclassical and traditionalist style, taking as model and ideal the “classic” architecture of the late 15th and the 16th centuries, the era of Isabella and Ferdinand (the so called “Catholic Kings”), of Charles I. and Philipp II. The neoclassical style should be reminiscent of the former world empire, of the great tradition of the imperial past five centuries ago
