Description
This church dates back to the year 1000 and includes elements from 400 years earlier. The beautiful ambo on the left comprises of certain parts of the original sixth-century church. The luminosity of the mosaics that adorn the apse and, above all, the image of 'The Last Judgement' on the west wall (which is rumoured to be a reconstruction) are incredible. Mass is held everyday at 9:30a and 4:30p.
