Located in the heart of the Citadel of Blaye, a tourist spot starting from the castle to complete the tour of the Citadelle Estuary will offer you a magnificent panorama and breathtaking sunsets

Beautiful remains and very beautiful view. It remains unfortunate that landslides are not always protected and / or restored.

Spend a good time, beware of the wind, it is very exposed. There is a small old-fashioned market and trader, a very good cow's milk glacier! Very nice, also a good stuffer, there was in September the autumn market, vegetation. They sometimes make reconstructions of the period army with cannon fire

Visby Cathedral

Visby Cathedral (also known as St. Mary’s Church) is the only survived medieval church in Visby. It was originally built for German merchants and inaugurated in 1225. Around the year 1350 the church was enlarged and converted into a basilica. The two-storey magazine was also added then above the nave as a warehouse for merchants.

Following the Reformation, the church was transformed into a parish church for the town of Visby. All other churches were abandoned. Shortly after the Reformation, in 1572, Gotland was made into its own Diocese, and the church designated its cathedral.

There is not much left of the original interior. The font is made of local red marble in the 13th century. The pulpit was made in Lübeck in 1684. There are 400 graves under the church floor.
