Arles, Eglise St-Trophime
The former cathedral of Arles, called Eglise St-Trophime, has a fantastic series of Byzantine sculptures around the door on the façade that have been recently restored to their pristine beauty. The interior is also from the Byzantine, older than the Gothic. It's quite a church, and another UNESCO World Heritage site. We also bring you to the Cloister of St-Trophime, tucked away around the corner. This cloister is like an open-air museum with architecture and sculpture spanning a 300-year period: gothic pointed arches on one side, and older, Romanesque barrel-vaulting on the other side.
The open court in the center is surrounded by beautiful columns, each with different, detailed stone carvings on their capitals, and corner columns especially noted for their realistic, gothic statues representing various saints. It's a calm and peaceful place. Cloisters are always rewarding to visit. There is a meditative and prayerful atmosphere in a cloister like this, worth visiting any time you see a cloister with the columns in the arcades surrounding an open square. You know that this had been at one time residence of the clergy, perhaps nuns and priests associated with the church were living upstairs. It is rare to find a cloister, such as this one that is so intricately decorated -- the top of each column is carved and some of the columns are really impressive works of art in themselves. Each of the smaller columns have elaborate capitals. Some of the arches are rounded and others are pointed, reflecting the different time periods, and in fact this cloister is generally considered to be the most important cloister in all of Provence. It's so easy to overlook because it has an unmarked doorway. You would not even know it's here unless you studied up a little bit in guidebooks or are watching this video, or heard about it somehow. It's the corner columns that are really the most spectacular of all in the cloister. There is a statue of St. Paul, that's one of the really important art masterpieces in here, and there are some detailed corner statues with relief scenes, and there are some other scenes of daily life carved into the galleries of the cloisters.

Places to see in ( Arles - France ) Eglise St Trophime
The Church of St. Trophime is a Roman Catholic church and former cathedral located in the city of Arles, in the Bouches-du-Rhône Department of southern France. It was built between the 12th century and the 15th century, and is in the Romanesque architectural tradition.
The sculptures over the church's portal, particularly the Last Judgement, and the columns in the adjacent cloister, are considered some of the finest examples of Romanesque sculpture. The church was built upon the site of the 5th century basilica of Arles, named for St. Stephen. In the 15th century a Gothic choir was added to the Romanesque nave.
At the time the Cathedral was built, in the late 11th century or early 12th century, Arles was the second-largest city in Provence, with a population of between 15,000 and 20,000 people. It had a busy port on the Rhône, and two new cities, on either side of the old Roman town, surrounded by a wall. It was at least formally independent as the Kingdom of Arles, and it had attracted many religious orders, including the Knights Hospitalier, the Knights Templar and mendicant orders, which had built a number of churches within the town.
The apse and the transept were probably built first, in the late 11th century, and the nave and bell tower were completed in the second quarter of the 12th century.: The Romaneque church had a long central nave 20 meters high; lower collateral aisles on either side; a transept supporting the square central bell tower; and a chevet behind the altar at the east end with a hemispherical vault. The windows are small and high up on the nave, above the level of the collateral aisles.
Though mainly notable for its outstanding Romanesque architecture and sculpture, the church contains rich groups of art from other periods. These include several important carved Late Roman sarcophagi, reliquaries from various periods, and Baroque paintings, with three by Louis Finson. Trophime Bigot is also represented, and there are several Baroque tapestries, including a set of ten on the Life of the Virgin. The church has been used to hold items originally from other churches or religious houses in the region that were dispersed in the French Revolution or at other times.
The cloister was constructed in the second half of the 12th century and the first half of the 13th century. For the use of the Canons, the priests who attended the bishop and managed the church property. Under a reform instituted by Pope Gregory, the Canons were required to live like monks, with a common dormitory, refectory and cloister within the cathedral enclosure, separated by a wall from the city.
The west portal is one of the treasures of Romanesque sculpture, presenting the story of the Apocalypse according to St. John, and the Gospel of St. Matthew. Christ is seated in majesty in the timpanum, with the symbols of the Evangelists around him; the angel of St. Matthew, the lion of St. Mark, the bull of St. Luke, and the eagle of St. John. The Apostles are seated below him. To the left of the portal, a procession of chosen Christians are going to heaven, while to the right sinners are being cast into hell.

Outreach & Education - Cloister of St. Trophime in Arles, France
St. Trophime in Arles, France, is an important pilgrimage site and the starting point of the Via Tolosana to Santiago de Compostela. The church of St. Trophime was built between the eleventh and twelfth centuries—a time of great prosperity in Arles—while the construction of the adjoining monastic cloister began in the twelfth century. Its north and east galleries contain extraordinary Romanesque bas-relief sculptures and carved column capitals that depict stories from the Bible. The later, fourteenth-century south and west galleries of the cloister contain sculpture with scriptural depictions in the Gothic style.
In 2008, WMF became involved in the conservation of the cloister at St. Trophime. In collaboration with CyArk, WMF created laser scans of the cloister that allowed us to propose a detailed conservation program through web-based 3-D models in combination with drawings, high-resolution photography, and narrative descriptions of treatments to be employed.
This video explains the history of the cloister at St. Trophime through the use of some of those materials.

La #Provence . Saint Trophime Cathédrale Romane d'#Arles
( merci de noter la vidéo ) Initialement située à proximité du rempart antique de l’Hauture, la cathédrale fut déplacée vers le Ve siècle à proximité de l’ancien forum romain. Elle fut élevée en plusieurs phases et l’essentiel du monument que nous voyons aujourd’hui date du XIIe siècle, époque à laquelle sa façade, initialement sobre, fut rehaussée de sa magnifique statuaire historiée.
L’édifice est l’un des plus importants du domaine roman provençal. C’est par ailleurs une église à reliques sur la route de Compostelle. Un chœur gothique remplace les absides romanes au XVe siècle. Des salles voûtées et un certain nombre de vestiges de l’Antiquité tardive, suggèrent la présence d’un bâti préexistant à l’église romane.
Après une période de difficultés, l’Eglise et la ville d’Arles connaissent entre le Xe et le XIIe siècles un essor important qui nourrit les ambitions de renouer avec le passé glorieux de l’ancienne métropole.
Avec la construction de l’église, l’ancien vocable de Saint-Étienne est remplacé par celui de Saint-Trophime. Le chantier commença vers 1100, la translation des reliques de saint Trophime dans la nouvelle cathédrale eut lieu en 1152.
Au milieu du XVe siècle, le monument fut transformé : aux trois absides qui terminaient le chœur, fut substitué un chœur à déambulatoire et à chapelles rayonnantes de style gothique.
A la fin du XVIIe siècle, Monseigneur de Grignan entreprit une vaste modernisation de l’église, ajoutant notamment des balcons à balustres aux extrémités du transept ainsi que de grandes verrières. Deux nouvelles portes à fronton sont ajoutées sur la façade.
Lors de la Révolution, l’église fut transformée en templet.

Arles, France walking tour
Arles is most famous for its Roman amphitheater, still intact, and its connections with Van Gogh, who spent one of his final years here painting 200 canvases. Its real appeal, however, is found in the lovely pedestrian promenades, historic landmarks, museums and tranquil plazas, all of which make Arles one of the most charming places in Europe. We also take you to the huge outdoor food market on Saturday mornings.
