Great art and very inviting atmosphere. Took a group of students there and they were in awe of the beautiful artwork. They understood many of the biblical images but enjoyed even the ones they didn't recognize. There's so much culture here that you need time to soak it in.

Love this beautiful church. Feels like you're in another world entirely when inside. It's peaceful to just sit inside and pray when there's no mass or service. One of the most beautiful and moving architectural places of worship that I've ever seen!
