Lonely Planet review

It's quite a surprise to walk through the front doors of this early 17th-century Franciscan church after eyeing up the plain Renaissance façade to find a baroque interior strewn with gold and marble and heavy, glittering chandeliers. The high altar is a particularly impressive piece in the form of a triumphal arch. The archaeological findings of a recent dig at the church can be viewed by appointment. Choir recitals are a regular feature here.
