Guided Story
As you step inside, feel the cool, calming air enveloping you. Look up at the Gothic arches soaring above, like a stone canopy. This church has witnessed centuries of stories. Imagine the medieval faithful seeking refuge here while storms raged outside. Behind you, towards the theater, picture the bustling city life of the 12th century. Back then, St. Martini was not just a place of worship, but a community hub. And as you stand here, think about how many generations before have stood on these stones, perhaps with the same thoughts passing through your mind now.
