Beautiful Church : Beautiful church inside out but you’re not allowed to take photos. They sell postcards of the church instead. The ticket is 7 euros and this includes the entry to see the catacomb and the church itself. The catacomb is a 3 story building with the basement is the most impressive.

Old Church : Very interesting old church and the museum had a lot of interesting things. Just kind of found it when we were walking by and went in. Worth the admission fee. The church is very beautiful, interesting and connected with the museum. Highly Recommended!
