This large church is situated in Valentiana. It is very impressive from outside and is decorated with paintings inside. Nearby are old mine entrances which can be visited

Incredible interior. You can spend ages inside this church. Taxi there no problem, took bus back as no taxis available. Right beside mine.

The 3 Golden Altars is a sight to behold! Great for flash-less pictures and for studing the architecture of the period. Make sure to take a guided tour so they explain the meanings and symbols hidden in the altars.
