CITY CENTER. This Gothic church displays a rather plain exterior, but the extravagant interior will take your breath away. Altars, columns, and vault pillars are bathed in over 450 pounds of gold depicting cherubs, fruit cornucopia, and frolicking animals all in Baroque and Rococo styles. This exhibit reveals the influence of the influx of gold in the 18th century. Take a guided tour to learn more about the intricate designs on display.
