Om
Hurtige fakta: Denne kirke fra det 18. århundrede gemmer på en samling malerier af venetianske mestre, der overlevede to verdenskrige. Dens 37 meter høje klokketårn tjener den dag i dag som pejlemærke for fiskere, der vender tilbage til havnen.
Højdepunkter: Bag alteret står en polykrom træskulptur af Jomfru Maria fra det 15. århundrede, den eneste der overlevede en brand, der næsten ødelagde den ældre kirke på samme sted. Når solen falder gennem rosetvinduet om eftermiddagen, skabes der et farvet lysmosaik på gulvet, der kun varer i omkring tyve minutter.
Insidertips
- Sit in the third bench on the left side; from there you get the best angle of the altarpiece.
- Photograph the rose window from the inside between 4:15 and 4:35 PM when the sun is in the right position.
- Pay attention to the plaque to the right of the entrance; it lists the names of 43 fishermen who died at sea.
- Skip the crowds in season by coming before 11 AM or after 5 PM.
