Description

Dating back to the 12th century, this church has now been completely restored to all its ancient splendour. While the foundation dates back to the 12th century, its first restoration, when the floor was completed, dates back to the year 1100 AD. The richly decorated apse and the Byzantine mosaic on the vault and the spellbinding mosaic on the church floor are particularly beautiful. Mass is held daily at 8a, 9:30a, 11a, and 6p. On sundays, mass is held at 6p.
