Najbolje vreme za posetu
Morning between 9:00 and 11:00, when the light is best for photographing the facade and temperatures are still bearable. Avoid the midday heat, the roof provides no shade.
Saveti za budžet
Entry is free because the cathedral is still in ruins and not officially managed. Give the local guide a tip of around 5-10 dollars for the historical commentary.

O atrakciji
Brze činjenice: Katedrala je osvećena 1928. godine i može da primi do 2000 vernika. Nakon izbijanja građanskog rata 1991. godine bila je teško oštećena, ali njene gotičke fasade i dalje dominiraju panoramom grada.
Istaknuto: Krov katedrale je i danas išaran tragovima metaka iz građanskog rata, koji na suncu stvaraju sitne srebrne tačkice koje svetlucaju u kamenoj fasadi. Lokalni muslimanski ribari koriste je kao orijentir pri povratku s mora i pričaju priče o tome kako su im njena zvona nekada pomagala da nađu put kući.
Insajderski saveti
- Sturdy shoes are a must: the floor is covered with rubble and sharp stones.
- The best photo is from the opposite hill facing the ocean, where the cathedral is in its full glory.
- Arrange a local escort, the area is unguarded and moving around this part of town requires caution.
- Bring your own water, there are no shops or stalls in the area.
