Lovely Basilica in the Middle of Nowhere in Slovenia
Zupnijska cerkev sv. Marije - Ptujskogorske Matere Bozje的点评
点评:Who the heck would build a beautiful basilica on top of a mountain essentially in the middle of nowhere?
Apparently, the folks here did. The basilica sits on a small mountain (a trait suggested in its Slovenian name) that can be seen for miles around, including about a dozen miles away in Ptuj. The idea was to have something magnificent that everyone would see and be attracted to.
Take a look at a map, if you can. Our GPS took us up a steep, winding, single-track road, which provided amusement as we passed by the yard of a very territorial goose, who charged our car. As we left, we saw that there was a two-lane road going down the other side.
The basilica is magnificent. It is filled with baroque carvings and images. Note the relief image in the door of Saint Pope John-Paul II. The surrounding town is attractive and very typical of Slovenia.If you like this, there is a similar older church in Ptuj.
This basilica is not something you see every day, but it’s worth the trip.
翻译:谁会在一个荒无人烟的山顶上建造一座美丽的大教堂?
显然,这里的人们会这么做。大教堂坐落在一座小山上(其斯洛文尼亚名字就暗示了这一特点),方圆数英里都可以看到,包括大约十二英里外的普图伊。我们的想法是建造一座宏伟的建筑,让每个人都能看到并被吸引。
如果可以的话,看看地图。我们的 GPS 带我们走上了一条陡峭、蜿蜒的单行道,这让我们很有趣,因为我们经过了一只非常有领地意识的鹅的院子,它向我们的车冲过来。当我们离开时,我们看到另一边有一条双车道公路。
大教堂非常宏伟。它充满了巴洛克风格的雕刻和图像。请注意圣教皇约翰保罗二世门上的浮雕。周围的城镇很迷人,非常具有斯洛文尼亚特色。如果你喜欢这个,普图伊有一座类似的古老教堂。
这座大教堂不是每天都能看到的,但值得一游。
