4 reviews of Nimes Cathedral

Main religious building

Nimes Cathedral is the main religious building in Nimes. Originally Romanesque in style, it now incorporates various architectural elements due to several years of damage done to it during the religious wars. The interior is false Byzantine style with some genuinely baroque chapels. The temple is nothing too special but it fits well in the center of the old town in a friendly and lively area. There are other churches in Nimes that are more beautiful or striking but this is the principal place of worship.

En pleno centro histórico de Nimes, se encuentra la cathédrale Notre Dame y Saint Castor, que originalmente fue construido en estilo románico, y que a raíz de las guerras algunas partes se destruyeron. Como suele suceder en las reconstrucciones y ampliaciones, esta Iglesia hoy es un popurri de estilos, pero que se valoran precisamente por marcar diversos periodos de la arquitectura y ayuda a historiadores a hacer lecturas varias. En su interior, se encuentran las capillas barrocas y una mezcla de estilo bizantino, que por los tiempos se presume falso. El entorno que rodea el Templo, hace que este protagonice en su espacio, sin ser bonito es interesante.
In the historic heart of Nimes, is the Cathédrale Notre Dame and Saint Castor, which was originally built in Romanesque style, and the wars following parts were destroyed. As often happens in the reconstructions and expansions, the Church today is a potpourri of styles, but are measured precisely mark different periods of architecture and helps to make various readings historians. Inside are the baroque chapels and a mixture of Byzantine, that time is presumed false. The environment surrounding the Temple, makes this star in their space, without being pretty interesting.

A Catedral de Nîmes tem o nome de Catedral de Nossa Senhora e Saint Castor de Apt, um santo que nasceu na cidade e mais tarde se tornou bispo de Apt. A igreja foi consagrada em 1096 pelo Papa Urbano II pela altura das primeiras cruzadas que terminaram em 1099 com a conquista de Jerusalém. Resulta de uma mistura de estilos arquitectónicos, o românico que podemos ver no campanário construído no século XIV e o gótico. A sua nave foi reconstruída no século XVII com uma decoração muito simples, algo que não é muito comum nas catedrais que visitámos noutras cidades de França.
