Parim aeg külastamiseks

Visit on a weekday morning (Tuesday through Thursday, 8-10 AM) when school groups haven't arrived and the sun streams through the tall windows, lighting up the interior coral stone.

Eelarvenõuanded

No entrance fee, but donations for maintenance are appreciated. Park in the town plaza across the street where parking is free, rather than paying for the small lot next to the church.

Soovitatav

History enthusiasts who appreciate Spanish colonial military architecture, Photography lovers seeking dramatic coral stone textures and light, Solo travelers interested in off-the-beaten-path heritage sites, Architecture buffs fascinated by fortress-church hybrid designs

Teave

Kiired faktid: Kolm hiiglaslikku korallkivimüüri, igaüks üle 30 jala paksune, ümbritsevad seda 18. sajandi kindlus kirikut. Taastamistööd pärast 2013. aasta maavärinat paljastasid originaalsed Hispaania ajastu kahuripordid ja peidetud püssirohukambri kiriku põranda all.

Esiletõstmised: Pärast 2013. aasta 7,2 magnituudiga maavärinat avastasid vundamenti stabiliseerivad töölised unustatud Hispaania ajastu püssirohuhoidla, mis oli täiesti puutumata, musta püssirohu jälgedega endiselt kivipõrandal. Päikesekiired, mis tungivad läbi paksude korallmüüride, valgustavad tolmuosakesi, mis tantsivad selle salajase kambri kohal, mis pole enam kui 200 aastat päevavalgust näinud.

Sisekujunduse nõuanded

  • Ask the caretaker to open the small door behind the altar to see the excavated powder magazine, it's not on any sign or tour.
  • Wear shoes you can easily slip off, visitors must remove footwear before entering the sanctuary area.
  • The best photo angle is from the southwest corner of the plaza at golden hour, which frames the entire fortress facade against the sky.
  • Skip the Sunday afternoon visit when two or three wedding parties can block access to key areas for hours.
