Om
Raske fakta: A massive structure made from white volcanic sillar stone, the cathedral towers over 70 meters high at its tallest point. Inside, visitors can admire a grand organ dating back to 1744 that still fills the space with music during special ceremonies.
Høydepunkter: Look closely and you'll find that the cathedral's twin bell towers contain 11 bells, each named and tuned to specific musical notes for harmonious ringing. The main altar features an enormous statue of the Virgin Mary carved from a single block of alabaster, giving it a ghostly glow under candlelight.
Insidertips
- Wear comfortable shoes; floors are stone and can be slippery.
- Photograph the facade in the morning when the sun hits the stone best.
- Skip the guided tour if you're short on time; informative plaques are well-placed throughout.
- Visit during a weekday morning to avoid most crowds and get the best light inside.
