À propos
Faits rapides: Deux styles architecturaux complètement différents se rencontrent sous un même toit. La nef gothique s'élève au-dessus d'un cloître roman du XIIe siècle où des chats vivent depuis des siècles.
Points forts: Une pierre dans le mur du cloître porte l'empreinte d'une patte de chat pressée dans le mortier il y a plus de 800 ans. Les habitants disent que les chats résidents de la cathédrale sont les descendants directs des chasseurs de souris qui gardaient le monastère médiéval sans rongeurs.
Conseils d'initiés
- Head straight to the cloister first thing, before the guided tours fill the space with chatter.
- Look for the cat paw print embedded in the mortar of the cloister's northeast wall, near the chapter house entrance.
- The museum inside holds a stunning 15th-century altarpiece, but skip the audioguide and just read the wall panels instead.
- Wear comfortable shoes; the climb to the upper terraces rewards you with rooftop views over Tarragona's old town.
