The opening of the Nativity Museum of Mollina establishes an important link with Constatino the Great, the first Roman Emperor to authorise Christian worship. According to Ensures Antonio Díaz, one of the cofounders, the museum is already the largest permanent nativity exhibition in the world. Its 5,000 square metres house more than 60 artistic nativities and around 1,000 figures and sculptures from recognised national and international artists.
Monumental nativities, such as that by Antonio Bernal, or for Christmas in Andalusia by the artist from Cadiz, Vicente Martínez. But there are also small nativities in a landscape devastated by war, or in the cathedral of Burgos, for example. And all of them admirable due to the detail of the figures, the landscape, their make-up, the scenes, depth and the perspective.
