A couple of steps from the Council Square brings unto your view a behemoth of a structure with pinnacles adorning its roof. And the unmistakable cross on top of it.
You will find yourself facing the Black Church, so prepare to traipse on stones and gape in awe of the statues,surrounding this gothic splendor.
Should you wish to enter, opening hours are: Apr-Sep 2021: Sun-Mon 12p-7p, Tue-Sat 10a-7p. Oct 2021-Apr 2022:Tue-Sat 10a-4p, Sun 12p-4p, Mon closed.
And if you wish to remain outside, the architecture is enough to keep you wondering why on earth is it called the Black Church, when it's not black. It survived a great fire in 1689 and got its name from there. And if you visit on a Saturday in the summer (July to September), at 6 pm, you will hear the haunting music of their mechanical organ that was built in 1839.
