Πολύ εντυπωσιακό μνημείο με μοναδική αρχιτεκτονική και υπέροχη ατμόσφαιρα. Ο καθεδρικός ναός συνδυάζει ιστορία, τέχνη και πνευματικότητα. Μια αξέχαστη εμπειρία που αξίζει να ζήσει κάθε επισκέπτης της υπέροχης αυτής πόλης.

We had a tour guide Linda and she was absolutely amazing. The tour was informative, she told us a lot about the cathedral and its history, showed us all the hidden gems of the building. The cathedral itself is beautiful and impressive. The tour is worth visiting!
