Keywords: Architecture, Islam, Middle Ages, Virgin Mary, War.
The Cantigas de Santa Maria by king Alfonso X is a work with three artistic expressions: music, literature and painting. There are about 420 songs with reports of miracles and praises to the Virgin written in galician-portuguese and accompanied by illuminations that represent words in images. The focus will be to demonstrate the presence of architectural forms in the text and the illumination of the Cantiga 273, the miracle report of the city of Huelva-Andalusia. The architecture as a record of the defeats and victories occurred in the battles between christians and moors during the centuries of the Reconquest of the Iberian Peninsula, as well as the pacific artistic syncretism of that time.

The literature, the theatre, and the art of the Baroque period usually showed the archetype of the drunk man who took refuge in the tavern of his life. This figure existed in popular society, where the types were diversified, and vices expanded. If you pay attention to the documentation, there are several cases of men of bad life whose behaviour had serious consequences on the women in their environment, which would be summed up in violence and poverty. To emerge from this situation, these women used different strategies such as seeking support from acquaintances and family members, but also from the institutions of the Kingdom of Majorca.
