Spanish to English: CANALS puerta del cielo
Source text - Spanish PATRIMONIO
En la actualidad, Canals es la segunda población de La Costera, pero sus encantos conservan el sabor de siempre.
El barrio viejo mantiene capillas cerámicas, la mayoría originarias de los siglos 17 al 19
Ermitas como las del Cristo de la Salud y el Santo Cristo de Aiacor o la Torre dels Frares, revelan el valor de sus dos pedanías.
El turista no puede dejar de visitar la Iglesia parroquial, donde el silencio se viste de solemnidad.
Y sobre todo, la Torre y el Oratorio... las joyas de Canals y únicos restos que se conservan del antiguo palacio de los Borja.
Este oratorio alberga un interesante retablo de almas de los siglos 15 y 16.
Sencilla, como sus monasterios,
Canals conquista al viajero con el corazón, como lo ha hecho toda la vida.
Y hasta hoy la villa conserva el encanto de los que han vivido.
Así podría Canals atribuirse la inscripción que reza en uno de sus conventos, el de santa Clara, donde pudiera ser que conociendo esta historia, se grabó un día: Puerta del cielo.
Translation - English HERITAGE
Presently Canals is the second largest settlement of La Costera, but its charm conserves the age old style.
The old town maintains its ceramic tiled chapels, the majority originating from the 17th to 19th century.
Chapels such as Cristo de la salud and El santo Cristo de Alacor, or La torre dels Frares, reveal the value of its two districts.
The tourist should not leave without visiting the parish church, solemn and shrouded in silence.
And most of all, the tower and the oratory… the gems of Canals, and the only surviving remnants of the antique palace of the Borja family.
The oratory houses the interesting “alterpiece of souls” from the 15th and 16th century.
Simple like its monasteries, Canals conquers the visitor´s heart, as it has always done.
Even today the village conserves the charm of those that have lived there.
And so knowing this story one can attribute to Canals the inscription carved in Santa Clara, one of its convents, the words: Heaven´s Gate.
