La "capella sixtina" de l'Arieja / Ariege "Sistine Chapel"

Ep, si això de "capella sixtina" pot semblar prepotent, no ho he dit jo, eh? La antiga (micro) catedral de N. D. de la Sède, a Sent Liser, ha estat anomenada així. Certament son unes pintures notables.

La vila de Sent Líser (Saint Lizier en francès) es troba en un puig sobre el riu Salat, just al nord de St. Girons. Té la particularitat de comptar amb no una, sino DUES ex-catedrals. Aquesta és una de les dues, l'altra es troba al cim del nucli antic, i s'anomena N. D. de la Sède. Una cosa molt complicada de legalisme canonic medieval. Sembla que va tenir un sol bisbe però amb dos capitols catedralicis separats. En fi.

=============================================

The nave frescoes of the former (and quite small) cathedral of N. D. de la Sède, in St. Lizier, have been labeled as the "Sistine Chapel" of the Ariege. Surely an overblown name, but the frescoes are quite impressive anyway.

Saint Lizier (Sent Líser in occitan) is nice old village above the Salat river. It has the really unusual detail of having TWO former cathedrals. I can't really understand what happened, but it seems that in the middle ages it was the seat of a bishop, but with two cathedrals, and all was abolished during the French Revolution. The other (former) cathedral is known as N. D. de-la-Sède.
