👍 A scenic ruin of the Jesuit church located next to a still-functioning Jesuit school and a Jesuit museum. The church is free to look at but the entrance is barred, probably due to safety issues inside, it is a ruin after all. Interestingly the church stands on the site of a house where the famous so...
