This is a breathtaking example of baroque. Standing outside does not really prepare you for what lies within. Whatever your personal view about baroque, this church will make an impact. For the relatively small entrance fee, this is a must for those interested in churches and indeed anyone who wants to see something that is really rather overwhelming.

I have never seen a church like this before. I would suggest you take your time and look at it all.

all of the churches are breathtaking with their gold and stainglass windows. Mass was being said while we were there which was a bonus. Hard to describe the beauty.

While their is a fee to enter and take photos, it is a beautiful church and worth seeing. The staff wasn't very hospitable to tourists, which is the only thing I did not care for in our visit.

but heaving with visitors so we didn't bother queueing up to go inside. The museum round the corner only had one lady on and she was unhelpful and curt - and didn't speak any Englsh - doh!
