Informazioni
Fatti rapidi: Unusually, the walls reveal a mixture of Byzantine and early Christian architecture. The church houses one of the oldest Christian mosaics found in the region.
Punti salienti: A fascinating fresco tells the story of a local saint with surprisingly vivid colors that have been preserved despite its age. The atmosphere inside is marked by peaceful silence, emphasized by the soft light filtering through stained glass windows.
Consigli da insider
- Wear comfortable shoes as the ground can be uneven.
- Photograph the colorful stained glass windows best in sunlight.
- Use the quiet morning hours for a visit to avoid tourist crowds.
- Avoid weekends as more locals visit the church then.
