Discover the viewpoint of the church of Sant Pere

* The author is part of the community of readers of La Vanguardia

A little-known view is, without a doubt, the one offered by the bell tower of the church of Sant Pere de Reus. For only 3 euros you can go up with a guide and explanations through headphones in several languages.

As can be seen in this report in Las Fotos de los Lectores de La Vanguardia, the views are beautiful. With a good camera and a good telephoto lens you can see beautiful details.

The bell tower is a Gothic-style tower attached to the church. It is a hexagonal structure, 12 meters wide and 62 meters high, with seven floors. It is surmounted by a spire surrounded by pinnacles.

Due to its height, it can be seen from afar when you come to Reus from Tarragona. The tower is based at an altitude of 119 meters above sea level.

In the explanations, the anecdote of the spiral staircase of the church of San Pere, which they say inspired Gaudí, seemed very good to me, although I leave that to the free imagination of each one.
