Description
Built in the 1630's and designed by Antonio Canevale, this Roman Catholic Church's building is Baroque in style and almost unbelievably ornate in every decorative detail, so plan on staying a good while in order to take it all in. Particularly interesting and beautiful are the Rococo grilles, candelabras, gilt organ, frescoes and high altar located in the central chapel. Mass is conducted at 6:30am and 7:30am Mondays through Saturdays, and on Sundays at 10am and 12 Noon. Although there is no gift/bookshop available, pamphlets are available for further information, if you read German!
