One of the tower vestiges of the old Basilica St. Martin
Collegiale Saint Martin et Tour Charlemagne的点评
点评:Just outside Basilica St. Martin, you will see the Romanesque and Gothic style Tour de Charlemagne. This is a 48 metre tall, 11th-century tower that was once part of a medieval basilica that was demolished during the French Revolution. It is across a small street and clearly separate to the present day late 19th-century basilica.
Sadly the tower, being separated from the original church began to lose its structural integrity and partially collapsed in 1926. Various 20th-century restorations finally managed to reconstruct the tour, which is considered a National Monument, to what you see today. Information panels (French & English) next to the tower detail much of this history and is worth a read if interested in the building and basilica history.
Note that you can also see the Tour de l'Horloge (Clock Tower) nearby. This was also part of the medieval Basilica St. Martin before it was demolished. It is just 40 metres or so west along Rue des Halles and is also worth a brief look-see.
翻译:在圣马丁大教堂外面,您会看到罗马式和哥特式风格的查理曼塔。这是一座 48 米高的 11 世纪塔楼,曾是法国大革命期间被拆毁的中世纪大教堂的一部分。它位于一条小街对面,与今天的 19 世纪晚期大教堂截然不同。
遗憾的是,塔楼与原始教堂分离后开始失去结构完整性,并于 1926 年部分倒塌。20 世纪的各种修复工作最终成功重建了被视为国家纪念碑的塔楼,使其成为您今天所见的样子。塔楼旁边的信息面板(法语和英语)详细介绍了这段历史,如果您对建筑和大教堂的历史感兴趣,值得一读。
请注意,您还可以看到附近的钟楼。这也是中世纪圣马丁大教堂的一部分,后来被拆毁。它位于 Rue des Halles 以西约 40 米处,也值得一看。
