    Came across this church on accident while looking for another. Was nice to see. Stayed within the respectful confines of areas where pix could be taken. Located in an easy to find location.  more »

  • By Mauro Galvão
    A good mix between old and actual history. This church had several new buildings. A small church became a huge complex church. It is very interesting realise different building styles.
  • By S. Gadenne
    This place has a nice atmosphere, with bars and gelaterias along the streets. It is fully car-free, and opens on a great complex of ancient churches.
