Montserrat Start your full day trip from Barcelona in a comfortable Bus to the mountain of Montserrat which rises majestically to 4,051 feet (1,236 meter) above sea level. The rocks of Montserrat were formed by natural cement of sand during the centuries. The wind and rain shaped the mountain with strange and varied forms. The popular imagination has seen human or animal shapes in some of these peaks, giving those names and inventing legends to explain their fantastic origins. This trip to Montserrat will give you the opportunity to enjoy the wonderful and breathtaking views of the Montserrat Mountain, one of nature’s special creations. You will visit the Royal Basilica of Montserrat, which holds the famous 12th century Romanesque carving of Verge Moreneta (the Black Madonna). You will be able to see this famous statue of the Black Madonna from a distance. The Benedict sanctuary of Montserrat has been founded in 1025 and provides a mystical backdrop for the Virgin of Montserrat, the patron saint of Catalonia who is enshrined in the monastery's Royal Basilica. The little monastery soon began to receive pilgrims and visitors who contributed to the spread of stories of miracles and wonders performed by the Virgin. Today, Montserrat has been modernized to continue attending to the needs to pilgrims, one thousand years after it was originally founded. You will be given some free time to visit the audio visual exhibition about the history and creation of Montserrat. And taste typical liquors of Montserrat. The Escolania of Montserrat is one of the oldest boys choirs in Europe (XIV Century). On some days the children's choir sings in the monastery and so you may be fortunate enough to catch one of their delightful performances. Their timeframe is subjected to the school calendar and special events of the choir and monastery.

Uno de los cruceros más grandes jamás construidos, la única nave de su tipo que sobrevivió habiendo estado activa en la Segunda Guerra Mundial y la Guerra de Corea. Lanzado en 1938 HMS Belfast pronto fue comisionado al servicio en 1939 como el mayor crucero a disposición de la Marina Real en aquél momento. Jugó un papel importante en la destrucción del crucero de batalla alemán Scharnhorst y en el desembarco de Normandía. Sirvió a la Armada Real hasta el 1.965, cuando fue salvado por la nación en 1.971 como recordatorio del único patrimonio naval de la Gran Bretaña. Construcción Naval Esta nueva exposición orientada a las familias está formada por una parte práctica, pantallas interactivas y proyecciones que muestran las técnicas de construcción naval y de la época de la navegación a vela hasta métodos de prefabricación modernos. La exposición se centra en la ciencia, la ingeniería y la historia social de la construcción naval en la Gran Bretaña, y los elementos interactivos de la exposición le permitirán que los niños de todas las edades participen en la experiencia. Explore Uno de los cruceros más grandes es el único superviviente después de haber estado de servicio durante la Segunda Guerra Mundial. Ha servido a la Gran Bretaña durante 32 años, jugó un papel importante en la Segunda Guerra Mundial y la Guerra de Corea, y también realizó otras misiones entre los años 50 y 60. Se salvó de ser destruido en 1971, y ahora forma parte del Museo Imperial de la Guerra y es el primer barco preservado por la nación desde Nelson’s Victory. Gracias a los trabajadores y voluntarios – muchos de los cuales son veteranos de la tripulación – el museo se asegura de que HMS Belfast todavía tiene un papel importante que desempeñar en el patrimonio británico marítimo. La historia del HMS Belfast El término “crucero” se remonta a los tiempos en que grandes fragatas podían separarse de la flota oficial para cruzar de forma independiente. El crucero de vela, al igual que su contraparte del siglo XX, fue lo suficientemente potente y rápido para atacar y destruir los enemigos. Durante el siglo XIX, cuando la vela se convirtió en vapor y los barcos de manera fueron reemplazados por los construidos de hierro, y más tarde de acero, el crucero se convirtió en un buque de guerra utilizado para patrullar las rutas comerciales del imperio. Tenga en cuenta: los niños menores de 16 años deberán ir acompañados por un adulto. Duración aproximada de la visita: 1½ - 2 horas

Our musicians are at the forefront of a reemergence of Medieval English and European musical culture. The music is robust, engaging and emotive, bringing to life 800 year old musical manuscripts that have long been the domain of specialists and enthusiasts. Medieval Banquet Heritage All this takes place with the history of 1000 years beneath your feet! Our production pays homage to this history and notably to the Knights of Portsoken, a group of 13 knights in the retinue of 10th century English King, Edgar the Peaceful. The king gifted to them this very land upon which the banquet sits in recognition of performing three acts of bravery, one above ground, one below ground and one in the water, or so the legend goes. Each evening during the banquet our knights assemble to preserve the history of this ancient rite with an elaborate display of swordfighting There are many opportunities to dance with the cast, sing, bang your fists on the table and cry for your wench to bring you more food or drink! We also have a range of medieval costumes for hire to help you really look the part.

A short film explains the history and provenance of the Bridge and then there is the chance to admire the spectacular views – from both covered Walkways. On Monday 1st December, Tower Bridge’s East Walkway will reopen with its own GLASS FLOOR, joining the West Walkway to complete our new-look exhibition. Together with far-reaching views of East London, the walkway will be bolstered with a further 20 revered bridges in the extended popular display, ‘Great Bridges of the World’. On the east Walkway there are fantastic views of the Docklands and from the west Walkway you can see the new GLA building, the Tower of London, St Paul’s, the city, the Pool of London and Big Ben and the London Eye in the distance.

Victorian Engine Rooms: These provide a fascinating insight into late 19th century engineering. Installed for the completion of Tower Bridge in 1894, these huge, and beautifully maintained, coal-driven engines were used to power the thousands of bascule Bridge lifts performed until 1976. Although lifts are now operated by electricity, the original steam engines are still in place. The Engine Rooms give visitors a chance to experiment with models demonstrating the technology behind the Bridge. There are also some amazing photographs of  Tower BridgeTthroughout its lifetime – including a revealing picture of the heavy steel structure of the Bridge as the stone cladding was installed over it.
