| Description |
Amboise (Indre-et-Loire) Le château. La Tour des Minimes ou Tour Cavalière. La grosse tour des Minimes, construite sous Charles VIII, domine la Loire d'une quarantaine de mètres. La Tour des Minimes laisse entrer la lumière en son coeur par de multiples ouvertures. A l'intérieur de la tour, une rampe d’accès en colimaçon permet aux attelages de petite taille et de taille moyenne (la largeur est de trois mètres) de passer de la ville au château. Plusieurs invités de marque y firent leur entrée, à l’exemple de l’Empereur Charles Quint en 1539. Quand les rois de France abandonnent le château à la fin du XVIe siècle, la tour est convertie en lieu de détention. Il y a des graffitis en flamand, en italien, en espagnol, et ça correspond souvent à des prisonniers qui ont été gardés dans le château. La tour servira de prison jusqu'à la fin du 19ème siècle. De 1848 à 1852, l'émir Abd El Kader y sera emprisonné. 25 membres de sa suite sont d'ailleurs enterrés dans un carré musulman à l'intérieur du château.
The great tower Minimes, built under Charles VIII, overlooking the Loire forty meters. The Minimes Tower lets the light in his heart by multiple openings. Inside the tower, a spiral ramp access allows teams of small and medium size up to the castle. Several distinguished guests made their entrance, like the Emperor Charles V in 1539. When the kings of France abandoned the castle in the late sixteenth century, the tower is converted into prison. Prisoners were left graffiti in Flemish, Italian, Spanish. The tower will serve as a prison until the late 19th century. From 1848 to 1852, the Emir Abd El Kader will be imprisoned. 25 members of his entourage were also buried in a Muslim section inside the castle. |
