When you travel as much as we do, we can be forgiven for not wanting to visit another church. This one is an exception. It may be plain, so you're not here for the decoration. It's the history that matters here. That said, I found...More

We were not able to go in as there were too many tourists. It was worth going to though. Since it is a rather steep climb, if you are coming from town, I would suggest a taxi.
