00:00Let's talk about something different with Leopoldo Monterrey, author of the novel Con Amigos Como Tú.

00:07Friends known and friends to know, let's talk about something different.

00:14Let's talk about this wonderful archaeological site where I am, which is called Glanum.

00:19It was dedicated many years ago, in the 6th century BC,

00:26by the Celts, the Gauls, to the god Glan, who was the god of health.

00:32And later they called him Glano, I think the Greeks, and Glanum, the Romans, and so it stayed.

00:42This site was built as a temple in homage to that god,

00:47and the site was chosen because here converge some rivers that sprout here in these mountains

00:54and are channeled from what we see here.

00:58There are a series of canals that channel the water for the sources, for the thermal waters,

01:05for the wastewater waters, the black waters.

01:09This here is a world of canals and sources below this level.

01:17When they did it initially, the temples were some,

01:21then the Greeks came, tumbled some, built new ones, the Romans did the same, and this is what remains.

01:29This was discovered just a hundred years ago, in the 20th century.

01:36It was always covered with olive trees.

01:41In fact, Van Gogh, who was around here, and now I'm going to tell you a little about that.

01:46Van Gogh was held here in a hospital after his ear was cut, he entered a depressive state,

01:52and he came here of his own free will, and he was asylumed in that place that you see now.

01:59It is a psychiatric hospital that still works.

02:02In that psychiatric hospital, Van Gogh lived a year that he qualifies as the best year of his life.

02:11He made many of his most famous paintings, such as the painting dedicated to the stars,

02:20the one you are seeing in the photograph.

02:22He also painted the famous lilies, he painted the cloister where he was locked up.

02:30In short, he painted a lot of this, and he painted the olive trees that were here,

02:36which, of course, were eliminated.

02:39And that's where they found the remains of this city of Glanoum.

02:43This city is just two or three kilometers from a small town called Saint-Rémy-de-Provence.

02:52A town that is worth seeing. It is very small.

02:55Today it will have about 10,000 inhabitants.

02:57I don't know how many it used to have.

03:00But the fact is that it can be surrounded by a street that surrounds the old town.

03:08It is full of little streets.

03:10It is a town that, in addition to having a long history, has many stories.

03:15For the people who lived there, among others Van Gogh, as I just mentioned.

03:20Another one who lived there was none other than Notre-Dame.

03:25Miguel de Notre-Dame, the one of the famous prophecies, lived in Saint-Rémy-de-Provence.

03:33There is a palace, which today is a hotel, called the Palace of Sade.

03:38It was built by the ancestors, perhaps the great-grandfather of the famous François Marquès de Sade,

03:45whose name comes from the word sadism.

03:49That is, to find sexual pleasure causing harm to another.

03:55A guy who was very intelligent, brilliant, a writer of erotic, political themes.

04:03But mainly a man of letters.

04:06Although he did not live in Saint-Rémy-de-Provence, his great-grandfather, Baltasar, built that palace.

04:17In that palace, sorry, in that palace that functions as a hotel,

04:21there are practically all the things of important value,

04:26the sculptures, the frescoes, the floors, the mosaics that were found in this city.

04:33Gentlemen, when you have the opportunity, do not stop coming here,

04:38to this archaeological site, Glanoum, and to Saint-Rémy-de-Provence.

04:44Soon we will talk again about something different.
