Chiesa di San Paolo

Source: Stad Antwerpen - Sigrid Spinnox

Description

Vicino al fiume Schelda si trova la Chiesa di San Paolo, un'ex chiesa monastica dei domenicani risalente al 1639. Qui puoi ammirare magnifici altari barocchi, oltre 200 statue e oltre 50 dipinti tra cui opere straordinarie di Jordaens, Rubens e Van Dyck. Il giardino del calvario sembra un frammento da un film epico sulla passione e resurrezione di Cristo.

Fu consacrato nel 1571 come sostituto di un'altra casa di preghiera. Dopo un incendio nel 1679 fu costruito un nuovo campanile barocco.

L'interno splendido contiene più di cinquanta dipinti di famosi maestri antverpiani come Rubens, Van Dyck e Jordaens; oltre 200 sculture, magnifici altari barocchi e arredi sacri scolpiti che appartengono ai più belli del mondo. L'organo risale al diciassettesimo secolo ma è stato ripetutamente restaurato e ampliato.

Un vero colpo d'occhio è un'impressionante calvario del XVIII secolo con oltre sessanta figure a grandezza naturale (accanto alla chiesa - angolo Veemarkt / Zwartzustersstraat).
