Schnelle Fakten: The church's facade features a carved coconut tree at the center, symbolizing local life and resilience. It survived several earthquakes and wars, standing strong for over 300 years.
Highlights: Its baroque facade includes detailed relief sculptures of plants and animals, with a unique depiction of St. Christopher carrying the Child Jesus through a coconut tree. The stonework tells stories of farming, sea life, and colonial history in a way few other churches do.
