    It's a very old building with lots of history. It's beautiful inside but it's not that impressive, to be honest. The good thing is that it is free.  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.
