This church has a unique splendour which can only be appreciated by going inside. The outside demonstrates a very varied architectural style, including flying buttresses, gargoyles and normal arches as well as modern refurbishments. Inside it is a haven of peace and simplicity. This contrasts with its beautiful stained-glass windows, both old and modern, and the extraordinary painted columns and pillars. Whilst these have faded with age it takes very little to recognise what vibrant colours they must have been painted with when created over a century ago. Make the effort to visit this quiet sanctuary, it is worth the time. Sadly there are no English explanations in the Basilica.
