I was not prepared at all for the beauty and mystery of this place! I chose a guided tour (10 e entrance fee + 5 e for the guide), and it was the best decision, otherwise I would have probably seen the place in 10 mins, missing the magical history behind it. Elena was absolutely wonderful, she speaks perfect English and Italian, and left us speechless while telling us the story of the place, a mix of history, religion, art, politics, war and social habits, it was like travelling back in time and living every detail through imagination, it was an experience that will last in my mind for a long time, and made me curious to discover similar places. Thank you Elena and I hope to see you again soon for another tour!
