Notable, 19th-century Catholic church boasting 2 bell towers & Neoclassical architecture.

👍👍 I did not have any chance yet to enter to the church. I just passed in front of the church several times. Pros: 1. The church has beautiful architecture. We can see it from outside. 2.

Of austere beauty (especially if we compare it with the ornate Baroque churches that abound in the city), this Jesuit...

👍👍 The Montebelo Chapel is a small treasure in the middle of a big city! It's worth visiting and getting to know!

😠 Very poor infrastructure conditions of this very ancient hospital, now only working as an old folks home. Mean personnel working there.
