20의 빌세크가지 명소 & 주요 장소

Montcuq는 Quercy Blanc의 중심부에 풍부한 유산을 지닌 멋진 중세 마을입니다: La Tour de Montcuq: 마을을 자랑스럽게 지배하는 12세기 장엄한 돈존입니다. 툴루즈 백작의 권위 아래 12세기 말과 13세기 초 사이에 세워졌습니다. 성의 파괴: 알비 십자군 원정 중 프랑스 왕과의 조약에 따라 지역 영주는 성벽을 해체해야 했습니다. 이 주탑만이 살아남았습니다. 특징: 직사각형(또는 사다리꼴) 모양이며 독특한 나선형 계단이 있는 정사각형 탑이 있습니다. 과학적으로 이 이름은 저속한 것과는 아무 관련이 없습니다. 오크어 Moncuc에서 유래했으며, 단순히 원뿔 모양의 산 또는 요새화된 언덕을 의미합니다.

Two large domes dominate the Romanesque nave. They represent the most extraordinary example of the so-called "Aquitanian" architectural style: 16 meters in diameter and 32 meters high; only the Hagia Sophia in Istanbul has a taller dome. Also noteworthy is the small, golden church of Saint-Svair, with its large statue of Emperor Charlemagne, who presented it to the church of Cahors.

Worth seeing cathedral in Cahors.

Here the hiker or pilgrim has the town of Cahors and the river Lot at his feet, a truly picture-book view.

This St. Etienne Cathedral impressed us deeply again! The building dates back to the 11th century and is very unique with its two domes. Only in Perigeux is there a cathedral with similar architecture. The special feature is the Saint Coiffe, a fabric relic in which the veil of Jesus from the tomb is venerated. In one dome you can see frescoes of saints, in the middle of St. Stephen, the first martyr of the Christians in Jerusalem. During our visit (September 2024), pictures by the late impressionist painter Henri Martin were projected onto the other gray dome. It is worth spending some time in the cathedral!
