Beautiful church with nice details. Stained glass windows and the columns inside especially nice. Also obviously a living place of worship and no museum.

This church is so beautiful, the architecture is very awesome. The church is very tall, and situated near the hill. The environment is so calm and clean. Prayer, marriage ceremony and many other event take place here. Inside of the church is very beautiful, you can bring your kids here.
