O atrakciji
Brze činjenice: Mahovinasti kameni klaustri i bogato ukrašen romanički portal pozivaju na polagano istraživanje, dok stotine rezbarenih figura viri sa kapitela i konzoli. Kiša pada na stare kamene ploče tako da lađa kao da bruji, a ruinirana kapitulska sala otkriva srednjovekovne nadgrobne ploče plus retku prirodne veličine figuru viteza.
Istaknuto: Lutajući klaustrom iz 13. veka i dalje možete osetiti preko 800 godina krečnjaka pod nogama, pomirisati vlažnu mahovinu i čuti šuplji odjek kada kucnete rezbarene kapitel, gde više od 30 srednjovekovnih lica i životinja gleda dole sa kamena. Legenda kaže da je opat iz 14. veka sakrio malo zvono ispod kapitulske sale da ga sačuva od osvajača, a meštani su nekada kuckali pod, nadajući se da će dozvati metalni odjek kao znak bezbednog prolaza.
Insajderski saveti
- 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.
