  Another jewel near to the port area. Incredibly beautiful, located in a very quiet and special place.  more »

  I was impressed by the beautiful baroque decoration inside. With the cleaning being done the gold leaves are lush.  more »

  Beautiful church, stunning carvings & gold everywhere you would not know from the outside how beautiful this church is.

  Very nice, baroque art and detail in this church. Very interesting stories about how the church would open its doors to those of other countries but feared the pirates would ransack the church of its gold so there closed the doors and added wrought iron bars to the windows.
