Teave
Kiired faktid: Kitsas spiraaltrepp tõuseb torni sees, hingematva tõusu eest premeerib katuselt avanev vaade punaste katuste ja jõe keerdude üle. Nikerdatud keskaegsed hauakambrid, ehedad värvilised vitraažid ja kulunud kivid annavad kiriku laele vaikiva ja käegakatsutava ajalootunde, mis kutsub aeglasele ja uudishimuliku uurimisele.
Esiletõstmised: Tõuse kitsal kulunud kivist spiraalil ringikujulise torni sees, mis on umbes 30 meetrit kõrge, ja sa väljud katuse tasemel lõhiku juurde, kust avaneb vaade jõe Norele, katedraali tornile ja punaste katuste mozaigile all jalge all. Kirikus kannavad sajanditevanused hauaplaadid ja nikerdatud detailid endiselt müntris kriimustusi, kohalikud panid mündid ja peened roosid pragudesse vaikseteks ohvrianneteks enne pikki teekondi, vaikne rituaal, mida võid veelgi tajuda jahedal katusel käel.
Sisekujunduse nõuanded
- Wear sturdy shoes and be prepared for steep, narrow stone stairs when climbing the round tower.
- Go up the tower early, since the single narrow staircase causes queues in high season.
- Photograph the cathedral and tower from the north churchyard for the classic composition with grave slabs and spire.
- Allow extra time to read medieval inscriptions and inspect the 13th-century choir stalls and carved misericords.
