Orice vizita intr-o capitala importanta s-a lasat pentru mine si cu trecerea pragului unor catedrale. La Roma, intr-o saptamana am vazut mai multe catedrale decat vad in ani de zile, si chiar si in Portugalia am mers la Se Catedral in prima zi acolo, la Viena imi aduc aminte ca de la aeroport am iesit la suprafata chiar la catedrala Sf Stefan, si chiar si in Budapesta m-a impresionat locul cu acelasi nume, pentru ca mi-a oferit ocazia sa vad orasul de sus. Sunt multe lucruri pe care le apreciez la catedrale: indiferent de religie, arhitectura este intotdeuna impresionanta: de la stilul gotic, romanic la neoclasic sau baroc de fiecare data vad detalii care imi plac si care ma imbie la visare: imi imaginez cum a fost construita cladirea cu secole in urma, cum a supravietuit momentelor grele din istorie, cum a fost restaurata la forma din prezent. Pe langa toate acestea, imi mai place sa vizitez catedrale pentru energia pozitiva pe care o gasesc acolo. Am simtit aceasta energie si la catedrala St Paul din Londra. Am ajuns acolo la ceas de seara, dupa o zi in care am mers kilometri cu Eve prin frumosul oras, nu mai aveam mari sperante ca vom putea sa intram, insa am avut noroc si am asistat chiar la o cununie. Nu degeaba este considerata aceasta catedrala unul dintre simbolurile Londrei…imaginea sa reflectata in Tamisa seara ofera un peisaj atat de feeric inca nu mai vrei sa pleci de acolo. Daca ajungeti la Londra, va recomand sa vizitati si acest loc – oferiti-va un moment de reculegere aici care va va incarca cu energie pozitiva. Mai jos puteti vedea cateva fotografii facute acolo. Din ce catedrale ati vizitat pana acum, pe care o preferati? Mie mi-ar fi destul de greu sa aleg…

Every trip in a capital city brought me also a visit a at least one cathedral. In Rome, for example, I saw in one week more churches as I would see in a lifetime, even in Portugal I visited Se Cathedral in my first day there. In Vienna I remember St Stephan’s Cathedral was the first place I saw when i got to the city center from the airport. In Budapest, I loved the place with the same name as it offered a lovely overview of the entire city.  There are a lot of things that I appreciate at cathedrals: no matter the religion, the architecture is always impressive: from Gothic to Romanic, neoclassical or baroque, every time I see details that I like and makes me day dream about how it was build centuries ago, how it survived to cruel moments in history, how it has restored to the form it is today. Additionally to these, I love visiting cathedrals for the positive energy I find there. I recently felt these energy at Saint Paul’s Cathedral in London.  I got there pretty late in the evening and I was lucky to assist to a wedding ceremony. This amazing building represents one of the London’s symbols and it deserves its place in top places to see in London. Its reflection in Thames by night will take your breath away. If you plan to visit London, don’t skip this place. Allow yourself a meditation moment here that will fill you with positive energy. You can see below a few photos taken there. From all the cathedrals you visit, which one is your favorite? For me it would be a very hard choice…
