This little cathedral is hidden up on the hill but it's worth your time. Instead of making the long line to the main cathedral, hike up the hill to see this beautiful hidden jewel.

If you make the effort to go up to the lookout, it pays to come here as well. It is about a 5-minute walk to the church. in the church you can cool off and also enjoy the views from an even higher place.

Very special energy in this church, there were two musicians and a singer there practicing when we went which added to the magic. Lovely and interesting architecture and incredible views over the city from outside. Walk down through piazza Michaelangelo and the rose garden.
