Nicely rebuilt church. A few items to see inside, the family member I was with who lives in the area preferred it before. A good story behind the Devil brick as well, see if you can find it. Hint its on the exterior about 6 feet from the ground.

I love the Architecture. The way it is preserved for us to see and admire the work of Art from the 11th Century, is such a great privilege. No entrance fee. Not crowded. You have all the time to look at all those magnificent Chandeliers, the door, the Pillars etc.
Yes, difficult to review this one. The thought that it was being built 800 AD is fascinating. The restorations are hmmm. I would prefer benches, really. During my visit, they started to play classical baroque music. As much as I love classical music, it has no place in a Catholic Church, also it’s distracting while praying a rosary, there should be not played modern instruments. I really appreciate their talent, but everything has the right time and place, and a Catholic Church is not the same as a Protestant church, the catechism is clear about newer instruments inside the church. Well, but some corners are really beautiful here, even though I am not getting on good terms with the artstyle of the statues, the bigger heads are a bit irritating when used of normal sized statues. A huge old Cathedral with few content, I know small parishes with more art, thought, some of the figures are normal sized, they look really good, and the paintings with baroque-ish decoration were fascinating me as well. Benches would make a huge difference, really.
Very peaceful place, and very different to many cathedrals as the inside is paint matte white, which added to the peace. Also the interior is very plain and quite modern, The courtyard is interesting to walk around, I went in winter, but I can imagine the court yard to be very pretty in the summer months. I understand that there is a very old rose growing in the courtyard. Inside the cathrdral is a crypt and a roman crypt , and the most fantastic chandelier.
Nice city for short break during trip, cathedra worth to see!
