About
Hitre informacije: Bel sijaj kupol zareže ob sončnem zahodu, travertinski apnenec pa ob dežju sprošča minerale in ohranja brezmadežen videz, ki ga obiskovalci opazijo že z daljave. Presenetljivo stalno molitveno bdjenje v notranjosti traja že več kot stoletje, obiskovalce pa pogosto navduši tudi globok, odmeven zvok velikega zvona in panoramski razgled s stopnic.
Vrhunci: Že od leta 1885 poteka neprekinjena večna adoracija, zato lahko kadarkoli čez dan ali ponoči slišiš tih šepet in tiho orgelsko spremljavo v cerkveni notranjosti. V apsidi je mozaik Kristusa v veličastnih 475 m², njegova zlato-modra tekstura se v svečah zaiskri kot valovi, zunanjost pa je presenetljivo bela zaradi travertinskega kamna, ki izloča kalcit in po dežju skoraj sam očisti fasado.
Insider tips
- Wear comfortable shoes; the dome involves roughly 300 steep steps and there is no elevator.
- Arrive at opening to beat most crowds for the dome, or 30–45 minutes before sunset for golden light but expect queues.
- Use the square in front of the basilica and the north terrace for classic Paris panoramas and framed photos; avoid shooting into midday sun.
- Skip the crypt if short on time, the nave and the vast cupola mosaic offer more visual impact for most visitors.
