I loved the experience of enjoying a great concert there.

A spacious and good-sounding theater that emanates a good atmosphere in its finishes and halls, apart from the fact that this site is one of the centers for national and international events for the city of Medellín (outside the La Macarena events plaza).

Great place for attend events where sound and lights could be a top companion. Discreet, clean, with good attention and parking places. As be inside of University of Medellin this brings the place a secure aspect. Pay attention as if you assist to event here you cannot get in whit beverages and drinks.

Abbey of Saint-Georges

Saint-Georges de Boscherville Abbey is a former Benedictine abbey. It was founded in about 1113 by Guillaume de Tancarville on the site of an earlier establishment of secular canons and settled by monks from the Abbey of Saint-Evroul. The abbey church made of Caumont stone was erected from 1113 to 1140. The Norman builders aimed to have very well-lit naves and they did this by means of tall, large windows, initially made possible by a wooden ceiling, which prevented uplift, although this was replaced by a Gothic vault in the 13th century. The chapter room was built after the abbey church and dates from the last quarter of the 12th century.

The arrival of the Maurist monks in 1659, after the disasters of the Wars of Religion, helped to get the abbey back on a firmer spiritual, architectural and economic footing. They erected a large monastic building one wing of which fitted tightly around the chapter house (which was otherwise left as it was).
