At first I thought that it would be like all other cathedrals and have an old discolored yellow build that makes it look nice and ancient. But when approached the yard I saw that the whole complex has a really nice medieval vibe to it with cobblestone steps and a bell tower. The cathedral itself is a gorgeous white stone that looks like it's under maintenance to add even more sections to this beautiful carved stone that already holds more history than American history books.

The view is amazing, you can see the hills and the mountains and enjoy the fresh air... and everything is for free, no fees no tickets... I will recommend to any tourist to come here and visit this place! I am in love and next time I will come again!
