A very old Catherdral with worn out interior. Not worth the effort even though it's in easy reach by car.

It's very calm and beautiful historic Cathedral. If you go further upside the village you'll see breathtaking fields and mountains. Just recommend ❤

The most beautiful building 😍 and village ❤️
