About

It's marvelous that in such an urban and industrialized city, this small chapel has remained incredibly well maintained and preserved for all to enjoy. To reach it, you must first walk across a 14th-century bridge. The sanctuary is tiny, but it's worth popping in for a quick visit, as it contains intricate carvings and beautiful stained glass windows.
