VISIT THE CHURCHES

In the not too distant past, almost every building had a church attached to it, more or less small, more or less important, more or less rich. It seems like a lot, but if you dig deep, each cult has its own story, each church has something to tell, and each one enriches our knowledge of a place and its traditions: all we have to do is choose which, among the many stories, we want to hear.
