点评:After visiting Basilica Santa Maria and learning of the historic church rivalry, we had to check out the competition - Concatedral San Nicolas.
We were delighted to see our favourite, easy to use handsets were again available for no additional cost. They really enhanced our visit. Admission fee is more expensive for the Cathedral, but it is double the size and has toilets (off the cloister, near the entrance).
If you follow the recommended path, you start at the cloisters, visit the displays of gold, silver and artwork in the sacristy and ante sacristy before heading upstairs - which is amazing. You are close to the Virgin of Remedy, the organ (being played during our visit) and you have an excellent view of the Cathedral itself. It is definitely less ornate than the Santa Maria, keeping the main focus on the altar itself.
You then descend the stairs and had into the Cathedral itself. Avoid Mass times when worship is taking place.
The tour took around an hour and was definitely worth the visit.
翻译:在参观了圣玛丽亚大教堂并了解到当地教堂之间的历史竞争关系后,我们决定也去看看它的“竞争对手”——圣尼古拉斯双联教堂。
我们很高兴地发现,我们最喜欢且易于使用的手持设备依然可以免费使用。它们确实极大提升了我们的参观体验。虽然这座双联教堂的门票价格稍贵一些,但它的规模是圣玛丽亚大教堂的两倍,而且还设有厕所(位于回廊内、入口附近)。
如果按照推荐的游览路线,游客应先从回廊开始参观。先去圣器室和前圣器室参观那些金器、银器及艺术品吧——真的很精彩。这里离“救难圣母”雕像及管风琴很近(我们到访时正好有人在演奏),还能将大教堂的全貌尽收眼底。这里显然没有圣玛丽亚大教堂那么华丽,所有装饰都围绕着祭坛展开。随后再下楼进入大教堂内部。不过请避开举行弥撒的时间,那时人们正在做礼拜呢。游览过程大约持续了一个小时,绝对值得一逛。
