About
Quick facts: More than 7 centuries of history resonate beneath its roof where thousands of colored glass lanterns illuminate the interior during the day. Gothic architecture reveals pointed arches and vaults that seem to touch the sky with their 52 meters of height.
Highlights: A little-known detail is that the stained glass windows contain figures of saints and influential local personalities with precision and clarity, a rare craftsmanship. During certain festivals, natural lighting creates effects that simulate biblical scenes on the internal walls, a phenomenon that fascinates anyone who sees it.
Insider tips
- Wear comfortable shoes because the stone floor can be slippery and uneven.
- Don't miss the view from the tower if you are in good physical condition. The panoramic views are worth the effort.
- Visit during the week outside the high season to avoid large groups.
- Photography without flash is allowed. Try to capture the play of light mid-morning.
