Reviews

I don't know why but I was so positive while I was inside the cathedral and I didn't even want to leave. Apart from the architectural beauty I appreciate the authorities for not using bright lights inside the cathedral and going for softer lights that's so soothing. The cathedral is crowded but the queue was fast…
