Acerca de
Datos rápidos: Esta iglesia del siglo XVIII alberga una colección de pinturas de maestros venecianos que sobrevivieron a dos guerras mundiales. Su campanario de 37 metros de altura sigue sirviendo hoy como punto de referencia para los pescadores que regresan al puerto.
Destacados: Detrás del altar se encuentra una escultura policromada de madera de la Virgen del siglo XV, la única que sobrevivió al incendio que casi destruyó la iglesia anterior en el mismo lugar. Cuando el sol de la tarde entra por el rosetón, se forma en el suelo un mosaico de luz de colores que dura solo unos veinte minutos.
Consejos de expertos
- 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.
