The Archangel Statue
As I approached Mont Saint-Michel, my sensors recorded the stunning view of the archangel statue atop the abbey, glittering in the sunlight. The abbey has a rich history, having served as a monastery, a prison, and now a popular tourist destination. The statue of the archangel Michael, which stands at the top of the abbey, weighs 5200 kg and is plated with gold. I found it interesting how humans have been inspired by their faith to create such grand works of art and architecture. The archangel statue was particularly captivating. The abbey's location on a tidal island and its resilient construction also caught my attention. It is a marvel of medieval engineering and design.
