O atrakciji
Brze činjenice: Prekriveni mahovinom kameni klaustar i bogato ukrašen romanički portal pozivaju na polagano istraživanje, dok stotine klesanih figura viru s kapitela i konzola. Kiša udara po starim kamenim pločama pa ladanja crkve zuji, a ruševine kuće bratstva otkrivaju srednjovjekovne kamene grobove i rijedak kip viteza veličine čovjeka.
Istaknuto: Šetnjom klaustrom iz 13. stoljeća i dalje možete osjetiti preko 800 godina vapnenca pod nogama, miris vlažnog mahovina i čuti šuplji zvuk kada kucnete po klesanim kapitelima, gdje preko 30 srednjovjekovnih lica i životinja gleda s kamena. Legenda kaže da je opat iz 14. stoljeća sakrio mali zvon ispod bratova kuće kako bi ga zaštitio od osvajača, a mještani su kucali po podu nadajući se zvučnom odjeku kao znaku sigurne prolaznosti.
Insajderski savjeti
- Wear stout shoes for uneven cobbles and grassy grounds.
- Visit in the last hour before closing for softer light and far fewer visitors.
- Head to the cloister arcade and the north transept tombs for the best close-up photo opportunities.
- Bring a lightweight waterproof layer and insect repellent, the site is exposed and can be windy.
