About
Quick facts: The dome holds the third largest unsupported dome in the world, with a diameter of 37 meters. Its distinctive round shape dominates the skyline and can be seen from miles away.
Highlights: A unique aspect is that during World War II, a bomb pierced the dome but miraculously did not explode, which locals consider a miracle. Visitors can marvel at the intricate murals inside, spanning a massive area that tells rich stories in vivid colors.

- Bring a camera to capture details of the stunning murals and architecture.
- Visit during off-peak hours to avoid crowds and get better photo opportunities.
- Don't miss the chance to attend a local mass for an atmospheric cultural experience.
