La meravella en pedra de Concas / Conques stone marvel

IN ENGLISH BELOW THE LINE

Si ja tota la vila de Concas és preciósa, i la seva basílica una joia del art romanic, el timpà de la porta principal d'aquesta deixa ja sense paraules. És una de les obres mestres de la estatuaria romànica a nivell mundial, sense dubte. I encara conserva polícromia! Ara, de nit, es pot veure una increible simulació amb llums del que deuria ser la seva gloria en colors!

La vila occitana de Concas (Conques, en francès) és una de les més boniques de França. Es tracta d'una important població medieval, afavorida per ser un punt important de pas del Camí de Sant Jaume. I ella mateixa tenia el seu propi peregrinatge, en les reliquies de Santa Fe.

Recordo com el meu pare volia anar-hi en alguna ocasió que varem estar per Occitania, però no va poguer ser. Ara com a minim m'he tret aquesta espina.

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

All the village of Conques is wonderful, and in the middle of it, it's romanesque basilica is a jewell. And then, you have the tympanum of the Apocalypse at it's entrance. It's without doubt, a masterpiece of the medieval art. And now, by night, XIII Century joins XXI Century with a light reconstruction of what it looked like when it was fully painted.

Concas (Conques in French) is one of the most beautiful and well-preserved medieval towns in France. It owes it's fame and richness to the church of Ste. Foy, and above all, being an important stage in the Way of St. James.

My late father always wanted to visit this place, so at least now I've been there.
