I stopped by the Christ Church as my friends and I were walking around the Old City. We thought we would stop by and have a quick look at the inside, as the church is so beautiful from the outside. The style is very clean and crisp white on the inside. As we came in, a guide was talking to... more

The floor with "graves" in it were fascinating and, of course, the kids went... more

I thought the church was very beautiful but at the time it was under construction therefore I was unable to view the balcony and the entire body of the church was filled with construction equipment. The church is pretty cool though because it still holds regular mass on Sundays and is quite charming. I'll have to return without the construction... more
