Now, cast your eyes inside, if you can. You’ll find Baroque-style frescoes bursting with color and drama, and a wooden crucifix from the 1600s. Here’s a curious detail-a rare depiction of Christ on the cross with open eyes, capturing the very moment before death. Not your everyday church art!
Behind the altar, there’s an apse with three niches, each holding a statue of the Virgin Mary, shining out over centuries of prayer. But if you’re feeling brave, picture the crypt below: Christians once hid here from persecution. Inside, you’ll spot wooden statues, aged paintings, and a shimmering window filled with hundreds of skulls-watched over by a statue of the risen Christ. It’s a mix of devotion, mystery, and let’s be honest, a pinch of goosebumps. Isn’t history breathtaking… sometimes literally?
