About
Бързи факти: A soaring bell tower punctuates the skyline, visible from the harbor and often used by locals as a midday meeting point. Sunlight through high stained-glass windows bathes the carved wooden altarpiece in warm amber tones, making the gold leaf shimmer during late afternoon.
Акценти: Parishioners stage an atmospheric candlelit procession every December 8 for the feast of the Immaculate Conception, with several hundred people winding through nearby streets while choir voices echo off stone. A centuries-old bell still rings by hand, producing a deep, resonant tone that fishermen once used to time departures, you can feel its vibration in the cobblestones when standing close.
Insider tips
- Dress respectfully; shoulders and knees should be covered during services.
- Arrive before 10:00 to avoid masses and tour groups, especially on weekends.
- Photograph the carved ceiling and main altarpiece from the central nave, use no flash to preserve artwork.
- Stand in the plaza for a full-frame shot of the facade with nearby palm trees and square activity as foreground.
