We walked around the cathedral at night and took a gazillion photographs. For any photogs out there, someone took their time and let the place perfectly ... it's gorgeous and will resonate well in any photo.

We love that they have audio guides in English and we were in awe of the silver hostia which is absolutely stunning. If you have time do step inside, it's one of those cathedrals that is quite pleasant to walk through.
