What travellers are saying

A truly unique church in this city of churches Very different imagery and interior Well worth the visit

The skull and crossbones on the door and carved into the stone of this unusual little church remind you of your own mortality and this is most certainly the aim of Purgatory Church.

The stunning door has 36 panels and within the panels are carvings of skulls, representing prelates, rulers and citizens, this shows all are equal in death.
