We didn’t make it inside the building, but the gothic architecture on the outside made me wonder if it might not be something truly special inside. The history of the First Church, as it’s known, is interesting in that this is the third building for the the church. In fact, it wasn’t until after the hill on which the building rests had been cut down by twelve meters that this building was constructed. This is a stunning piece of architecture from the outside and a frequent site of tourist gawkers.
