Description
The square's Greek-style architecture sets the tone, with a sanctuary that's both striking and spacious. Its history, depicted in a painting above the altar, offers a visual narrative for visitors. Beyond the church, the square is a practical spot for a break: plenty of seating and nearby gourmet food shops make it easy to enjoy a baguette or lunch in pleasant surroundings.
