Brilliant tour of the Cathedral, based the amazing renovation underway. Not to be missed!
Catedral de Santa Maria的点评
点评:We took our tour with Eztizen. She is an amazing guide! She specializes in art history. It was the best tour we have ever been on, and we have been on many tours! FYI I am not religious in any way, but a friend told us it was a fabulous tour and she was right. First, you go below the Cathedral and see the newly reinforced foundations. You are told about the evolution of the Cathedral from wwhen it was first just a Roman church, and how the building technology changed over time. Then you go onto the main floor of the Cathedral and hear about how the Cathedral began falling apart, which is what inspired the massive renovation currently underway. Then you climb the spiral stone staircase to the first battlement. Then you walk around the upper gallery. Then you climb or take the elevator to almost the top of the building, to the outdoor level. Then you walk back down to see the smaller chapel where, using laser technology, you are shown how it was painted differently at different times. The whole project of rebuilding the Cathedral, thus creating tons of local jobs and demand for local construction materials, and then documenting the reconstruction process, and using it as a way to educate the public, is brilliant. If you only do one thing in Vitoria-Gasteiz, this is it.
翻译:我们参加了Eztizen的导览。她真是个很棒的导游!她专攻艺术史。这是我们参加过很多次旅行团以来最棒的一次!顺便说一句,我本身并不信教,但我的一个朋友告诉我们,这是一次非常棒的旅行,她说得没错。首先,你会走到大教堂下面,看看新加固的地基。导游会向你讲述大教堂从最初只是一座罗马教堂到如今的演变历程,以及建筑技术是如何随着时间推移而演变的。然后,你会来到大教堂的主楼层,聆听大教堂如何开始衰败的故事,而这正是目前正在进行的大规模翻修的灵感来源。之后,你会沿着螺旋石阶登上第一道城垛。然后,你会绕着上层画廊走一圈。之后,你会爬上或乘电梯到达几乎到达建筑顶部的室外层。之后,你会走回教堂下方,在那里,你会看到激光技术如何展现教堂在不同时期是如何被绘制成不同的图案。重建大教堂的整个项目,不仅创造了大量的当地就业机会,也带来了对当地建筑材料的需求,而且记录了重建过程,并将其作为一种教育公众的方式,真是太棒了。如果你在维多利亚-加斯泰兹只做一件事,那就非它莫属了。
