RE: Visiting a 12th century Cistercian monastery

in Architecture+Design4 years ago

Be having, as if not having, a beautiful description of the monastery and photographs that take me back to the distant past of Christianity. The combination of asceticism and luxury gives the understanding that if you are standing now, be afraid to fall, but if you fell, God can lift you to your feet. Blessings!

In reality, there are many sensations that can be experienced in a place like this, which of course it could be said that in its beginnings it was merely ascetic under the Cistercian motto of pray and work, but that it was increasing its heritage, also adapting to the needs, tastes and fashions of later times. Therefore, entering one of them also means taking a virtual walk through time, history and art. Thank you very much for your comment.
