It is located in the Centre of the city. It highlights its good state of preservation. It is worth taking a time to visit the interior, and appreciate its altar, its domes and his pulpit. Not very light, there is an image of Saint just judge.

Più che altro sembra un'imitazione mal riuscita della Cattedrale. Unico rilievo il pulpito barocco, peraltro simile a quello della Cattedrale. more »
