The soaring Gothic lancet arches of the interior of Wells Cathedral direct attention to the heavens above & the windows let in lots of glorious light. The unique scissor arches add to the effect of otherworldly glory. The arches were added in the early 14th century.
SANT JOAN DE LES ABADESSES
El monasterio de Sant Joan de les Abadesses es una de las joyas del románico catalán y sus orígenes datan del siglo IX. El edificio actual es del siglo XII y aunque un terremoto en 1428 derribó el campanario y parte del cimborrio, se encuentra en buen estado. Se trata de una iglesia de una sola nave con un amplio transepto del que se destacan cinco pequeños ábsides.
En el interior, sobrio como todas las iglesias románicas, hay varios elementos de gran interés, siendo el más destacable el conjunto escultórico del Descenso de la Cruz, la muestra escultórica de mayor relevancia del medioevo catalán. Hay también un pequeño claustro gótico adosado y un palacio abacial. El monasterio se encuentra en el centro de la población, de la que se conserva un núcleo histórico de dimensiones reducidas.
The monastery of sant joan de les aba ...
The monastery of Sant Joan de les Abadesses is one of the jewels of Catalan Romanesque and its origins date from the ninth century. The present building is of the twelfth century and although an earthquake in 1428 demolished the bell tower and part of the dome, it is in good condition. It is a single-nave church with a large transept of which stand out five small apses.
In the interior, sober as all Romanesque churches, there are several elements of great interest, the most outstanding being the sculptural ensemble of the Descent of the Cross, the most important sculptural exhibition of the Catalan medioevo. There is also a small Gothic cloister and an abbey palace. The monastery is located in the center of the town, from which a historical nucleus of small dimensions is conserved.
