“Interesting if you are into Baroque”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 14 April 2012

Lovely architecture sympathetically renovated into a museum. You need to either very religious or very Baroque to enjoy some of the rooms, but there are some wonderful paintings and sculptures for everyone. Not easy to get between floors, we used the lift.

“Fascinating inside and out”
