About
Quick facts: This church is actually a complex of five chapels, making its architecture extremely unusual. The white color on the walls reflects the sunlight, giving a sense of peace and freshness at the same time.
Highlights: The unique arrangement of the chapels creates an asymmetrical shape resembling steps or a cascade of white foam. The lighting at sunset highlights the scarlet outlines, creating an almost surreal atmosphere.
Insider tips
- Wear comfortable shoes as the cobblestones around are somewhat uneven.
- Note the exact moment for photos at sunset when the light highlights the white color of the walls.
- Avoid visits during the peak afternoon heat to escape the warmth.
- Explore the surrounding narrow streets, which offer less tourist traffic and authentic city glimpses.
