Catedral De San-pierre - Geneva

Español: no soja muy partidaria de las Iglesias/Catedrales porque después de ver unas cuantas, parece que no hay mucha diferencia entre unas y otras. pero ésta tiene la peculiaridad de poder subir a la azotea por sólo y disfrutar de unas vistas de ginebra que no encontrarás en otro lado -por ese precio. por fuera veremos la mezcla de estilos, un poco caóticos, característicos de la catedral de san pedro. la fachada neoclásica de la entrada delantera parece un museo. hay restos de figuras, por la transformación al protestantismo en y dentro también veremos restos de murales. pero no añadiré más información de la catedral que no hayan dicho ya en anteriores posts. me centraré en las vistas, desde la torre norte de la catedral (con el mismoticket puedes acceder también a la torre sur), para la que tendrás que subir escaleras en espiral (sólo) pero merece la pena English: I am not a great fan of churches/catedrals because there is a lot of others but it is unusual to go up to foot only and enjoy a view of the feast that they find nowhere else - for this price. from outside we see a mix of styles, a bit chaotic, but unique for st. pierre’s cathedral. the neoclassical façade of the beginning looks like a museum. there are remnants of statues, because of the transformation to Protestantism in and also remnants of wall paintings. but I will not add any further information about the cathedrale that it is not already said in previous contributions. I will focus on the view from the north tower of the cathedrale (with the same ticket you can also reach the south tower) for which you have to climb spiral stairs (only)? but it is worth it.

The gin cathedral presides over the top of the historic center. It is surprising to find on its cover some pillars of the purest Roman style that break quite with the rest of the construction. It seems that before it collapsed, at that time, it was decided to build that column to keep it. the practical to the artistic. Today, the cathedral, which was built in the xii century, is mainly remembered for being taken by the reformist calvin as the seat of his church.

And that is not easy to take the lead of the powerful jet of jet water, or the delicious glynace view from the bridge of montblanc, but it is that the beautiful topo of the cathedral of Saint pierre is imposed, from the distance, throughout the city, belled at the top of one of the hills on which the ancient Roman Genava was founded. as a Roman was the ancient sanctuary upon which he rose, to try to remove his pagan symbolism, and from those who remain we can visit under the same church along with remnants of previous religious buildings that preceded him. From the beginning, his importance was great enough for calvin, the Protestant leader, to preach from his pulpit and to be crowned in him the king of Burgundy. the facade is immense as a Roman temple, renamed by two towers one of them completely restored, creating a kind of architectural mirage that only happens when in the middle of the maze of houses of the old town of a city we find a really large temple, like the holy sea mary in the barcelona. from the interior, simple but impressive, naked after the reform of the Protestant who removed sculptures and altars, I stay with the chapel of the macabees, with its profoa and colorful decoration of the xix century, in the purest neogothic, and complemented with delicate and colorful stained glass windows. It is impossible not to compare this chapel with the holy chapel of paris, as saving the differences, the similarities are many and very large. I would have completed my visit if the tower had not been closed. climb the steps and contemplate the wonderful view of gin and lake leman, certainly worth the effort. It'll be another time.
