L'entrée, avec ce mélange de modernité sur ces pierres est absolument magnifique.
Le portail roman est également superbe. Prenez le temps de regarder tous les détails.
Bénéficiez de la visite guidée, pour connaître plus en profondeur l'histoire de l'abbaye, du cloître et de l'église.
Merci au guide pour son érudition et sa gentillesse.
Punts extres per tenir els fulletons en català! Gràcies!
Sería interesante que hubiera una persona con conocimiento de Español en la venta de entradas. Gracias
Les sculptures en bois polychrome sont de toute beauté !
The south door of the Church of Saint-Pierre, a real gem from the 12th century, displays a finely sculpted tympanum depicting Christ in Majesty and the Apocalypse according to St. John. Inside the building, the chancel and its enclosing wall in sculpted stone, a Romanesque Christ from the 12th century, a Virgin of Pity, a Flight to Egypt and an Entombment from the 15th century are on display to visitors.
Another marvel to be seen in the abbey is the prestigious Romanesque cloister and its 76 superb sculpted capitals, dating from the late 11th century and adorned with narrative scenes about the lives of the saints and biblical scenes. There's plenty for lovers of religious art to admire! A big cedar, over 200 years old, adds to the charm and the serenity of the whole place. At the south-west corner of the cloister, a narrow staircase leads to the upper room - the chapel of St. Michael in the Romanesque architectural style - located in the abbey church's bell tower, above the narthex.
