Holiday Spray Tanning Slogans

Pomposa Abbey and Museum Pomposa

you ever been to 'Abbey Pomposa ? It 's a place that you can not forget, a small medieval jewel and magical, with its peculiar and sometimes desolate, but it offers great charm.
Pomposa always warms my heart, for better or for worse, and I think one of the wonders of Emilia Romagna that should be visited once, at least once.

have been many times to visit the Abbey, also during special events, but I never got to see the museum. On 8 March, there have to go back, taking advantage of free admission, since I had already seen almost all other times.
Tickets cost € 5 and includes a visit to the small and beautiful church.



Pomposa is located along the shores of Ferrara, but the Abbey is not just near. Must necessarily go into the car and follow the brown signs that indicate a number. I'm lost I do not know how many times, but sooner or later get there, at least when you begin to see the bell tower in the distance.
The Benedictine monastery includes the Basilica, the Campanile, the Chapter Hall, the Refectory, the room in style, the Dormitory and the Palazzo della Ragione. All buildings have a value of spirituality high, that you feel when you arrive, since the site was, in terms of cultural and religious, one of the largest in the world.

Indeed, the Basilica is spectacular, and very well preserved Roman. If you look closely at leaves without words and is one of those places where, every time you go, it remains an open mouth, because I remembered it so good, but not so.

The ticket office is on the porch, down the driveway. From there you will have access to the garden and get up to the cloister, which depart from the various inputs to visit.
E 'can then visit the Hall to draw up and Chapter Hall, with very beautiful frescoes, some well preserved, others in the restoration of belonging to the old school of Giotto and remember moments of the last supper of Jesus
The Refectory is a rather large room used for meetings and cultural sites , which takes place every year Caput Gauri, a prestigious poetry prize room.
From the cloister you can access the Museum Pomposa, gem collecting, in the former dormitory of the monks, the remains of sculptures, paintings, artworks and artifacts found, always with a religious theme, the Basilica. To visit it is necessary to do the stairs and you can get an idea of \u200b\u200bthe rooms above. The room is not very great and very reminiscent of the archaeological museums.
To Last (but not last!), The small church, a real gem, as mentioned above. Paintings and murals decorate the top, bottom, the floor is spectacular, and you can also turn on lights in specific areas, in order to illuminate and to see the church as people want.
unfortunately I can not photograph the interior of the church, and we will leave half a heart because then it becomes increasingly difficult to remember it ... but in this link you own mind.

short, a short visit but very intense and beautiful. Council to go during less busy, so in this period or early spring. Easter is usually already off limits.
