Very good, no waiting, on a Monday outside the school vacations there was no one there, a must-see at least once in your life! We really enjoyed our visit.

This cathedral is a splendor, fortunately some people managed to preserve these unique pieces during the revolution, which we can admire today. Our guide was very interesting - you can tell she's passionate about what she does. It made the visit even more rewarding.
