Guided Story
Take a moment to step inside and look up at the soaring Gothic arches above you. Did you know this church was once part of a Franciscan monastery? The monks would have walked these halls in quiet contemplation, much like you can in the cloister surrounding the church. To your right, notice the intricate stonework that catches the light, almost bringing the walls to life. Behind you, under the shadow of the rooftop spire, is a peaceful retreat right in the heart of the city. Listen closely, and you might just hear the faint echoes of prayers past, resonating through these ancient walls.
