About
Бързи факти: A striking mix of Baroque ornament and Neoclassical lines gives the interior a theatrical, light-filled atmosphere that rewards a slow walk. You can often spot a dramatic altarpiece and richly veined marble floors that catch the sun and make the nave shimmer at midday.
Акценти: Step in shortly before evening vespers to feel warm beeswax candlelight fill the nave and to catch the honeyed scent of smoke lingering in the stone. A low-hung wooden crucifix and the carved choir stalls work with shafts of light to throw long, moving shadows across the floor, a quietly theatrical moment photographers and locals savor.
Insider tips
- Dress respectfully, cover shoulders and knees when attending services.
- Check service times on the cathedral noticeboard to avoid closures during Mass.
- Head to the side aisles and chapels for the best close-up photos of frescoes and altarpieces.
- Pair the visit with a stroll around the nearby Piazza and the funicular area for panoramic views and cafés.
