We almost skipped this, but are really glad we didn't. It was the farthest site on our list for the day, and we were tired, but it's an extremely unique and lovely church. We walked there from Esplanadi and it was about 25 minutes. The church was free to enter and there were musicians playing really relaxing music, so we just sat and chilled while enjoying the unique architecture. After about 20 minutes we left and walked on top of the church on the rock structure it was built into. Pretty cool visit.
