    I loved the triangular stepped terraces and the stair that led to this chapel. The architecture is very quaint, Romanesque in certain manner, but the scale is very human friendly and lacked the imposing European grandeur

    The church is beautifull, small and great, the tiles i blue, yellow and green is different from traditional blue ones... Great to see that a conservation work is starting here... Ps: One of the best views of April's 25 bridge.
