O znamenitosti
Hitre informacije: Eden najvišjih baročnih cerkvenih zvonikov na svetu je visok 65 metrov in ga je mogoče videti več kilometrov daleč. Katedrala se ponaša z redko ohranjenim fresknim ciklom iz 18. stoletja, ki ga je v desetletju naslikal en sam umetnik.
Poudarki: Stopite noter in poglejte navzgor: stropne freske se zdijo, kot da se valovijo kot blago, naslikane s tako iluzionistično spretnostjo, da se zdi, da ravni omet nabrekne in se guba. Krajevna legenda pravi, da je umetnik med dokončevanjem dela trikrat padel z odra, a si ni nikoli zlomil niti ene kosti.
Notranji nasveti
- Bring binoculars or a zoom lens to study the upper fresco details that most visitors miss with the naked eye.
- Visit the small adjacent Jesuit college courtyard for an unobstructed photo angle of the facade's full height.
- The wooden side altars have hidden drawers once used by Jesuits to store sacred vessels during times of persecution.
- Arrive just after a Mass ends to experience the organ sounding through the empty nave as the echo fades slowly.
