Teave

Kiired faktid: Hoone teenis haiglana üle 400 aasta, ravides algselt Püha Johannese ordu haigeid rüütleid. Selle osakonnad olid nii kuulsad kogu Euroopas, et patsiendid reisisid kaugetest riikidest, otsides ravi selle kiviseinte vahel.

Esiletõstmised: Sees peidus on vapustav barokk-kabel, mis on üle elanud sajandeid kasutust ja hooletussejätmist, kullatud detailidega, mis püüavad endiselt valgust. Õue sajandeid vana kivitrepp keerdub ülespoole viisil, mis tundub ajas külmununa, ja peaaegu kuuleb kaja rüütlitest, kes kunagi neis koridorides kõndisid.

Sisekujunduse nõuanded

Wear comfortable shoes since the original stone floors are uneven from centuries of foot traffic.
The chapel's dome has the best acoustics in the building, so pause in the center and listen to the ambient silence.
Arrive right at opening time (usually 9:00 AM) to beat tour groups that funnel in by mid-morning.
Skip the small gift shop at the entrance and head straight to the upper ward for the most impressive architectural views.
