点评:This is an important basilica built over the tomb of St. Martin, the patron saint of Tours. Opening hours are 7.30am to 9pm daily and entry is free. We passed by while in the city recently and found this to be an interesting church to visit.
Historically, the basilica began here in the 5th century. However, the present building that you see was only constructed between 1886 and 1924 replacing the earlier medieval building that was demolished during the French Revolution. What you see is Neo-Byzantine in architectural style. The exterior and facade is fine, the interior nice to view as well. It includes a latin cross layout, modest decor and a crypt where you can see the tomb of St. Martin.
Well worth spending 10-15 minutes at least visiting Basilica St. Martin. It is also worth additional time viewing the nearby Tour de Charlemagne (Tower of Charlemagne) and Tour de l'Horloge (Clock Tower) which remain standing. These are the only remains of the old Medieval basilica that predates the present building.
翻译:这是一座重要的大教堂,建在图尔的守护神圣马丁的墓上。开放时间为每天上午 7:30 至晚上 9 点,免费入场。我们最近在城里路过这里,发现这是一座值得参观的有趣教堂。
从历史上看,大教堂始于 5 世纪。然而,您看到的现在的建筑是在 1886 年至 1924 年之间建造的,取代了法国大革命期间被拆毁的早期中世纪建筑。您看到的是新拜占庭式的建筑风格。外观和立面都很好,内部也很漂亮。它包括拉丁十字布局、朴素的装饰和一个可以看到圣马丁墓的墓穴。
值得花至少 10-15 分钟参观圣马丁大教堂。还值得花更多时间参观附近的查理曼塔 (Tour de Charlemagne) 和钟楼 (Tour de l'Horloge),它们仍然屹立不倒。这些是比现有建筑更早的古老中世纪大教堂的唯一遗迹。
