Guided Story
Imagine yourself surrounded by baroque splendor. Look up and take in the intricate vaults stretching above you. Completed in 1720, this church has captivated countless visitors through the years. Behind you, to the right, you might notice the gentle wear of time on the marble surfaces. If you look closely, playful angels and saints peek from the altar, almost as if they want to share their own stories.

Listen carefully, and you might just sense the melodies of past masses lingering in the air.
