Resumo(s)
Ao subir ao trono, em 1707, D. João V incrementou consideravelmente o investimento que desde a Restauração se vinha fazendo na Capela Real, edificada em 1640. Encetou-se uma empreitada, dividida em duas fases – 1707-1712 e 1712-1719 – incidindo na cabeceira e no corpo do templo, respetivamente. Simultaneamente, a Capela Real foi elevada a paróquia, a colegiada e, em 1716, a Basílica Patriarcal. Em troca de apoio militar, o Rei conseguira do papado a divisão de Lisboa e a criação de um Patriarca para capelão régio, à semelhança dos reis de Espanha, que desde o século XVI tinham um Patriarca por capelão. A liturgia e a organização da Cúria eram, porém, à maneira de Roma. A partir de 1719 os recursos deslocaram-se para outras empreitadas (nomeadamente Alcântara e Mafra) e, em 1739, materializou-se a longamente esperada renovação da Cúria e aplicação de uma vasta quantidade de recursos financeiros. No ano seguinte iniciaram-se novas obras – dirigidas, como anteriormente, por Ludovice – que incluíram intervenções nos principais pontos do templo, bem como no adjacente Palácio Patriarcal. Os trabalhos nunca se concluíram, pois o terramoto de 1755 ditou o desaparecimento do complexo.
When he rose to power, in 1707, John V greatly enlarged the investments made in the Royal Chapel since the Restoration (1640). A two phase work campaign was conducted, centered in the apse and in the nave (1707-1712 and 1712-1719, respectively). Simultaneously, the Royal Chapel was promoted to parish church, to collegiate, and, in 1716, to Patriarchal Basilica. In return for military support, the King received from the papacy the division of Lisbon and the creation of a Patriarch for his Royal Chaplain, similarly to the kings of Spain, who had a Patriarch as chaplain since the 16th century. The liturgy and the organization of the Curia likened, however, that of Rome. Since 1719 resources were displaced elsewhere (namely Alcantara and Mafra) and, in 1739, the long awaited renewal of the Curia and the application of a vast quantity of financial resources were applied. In the following year a new work campaign was started – conducted, as before, by Ludovice – that intervened in the temple’s key points, as well as on the adjoining Patriarchal Palace. It was never concluded, as the earthquake of 1755 destroyed the building.
