Why Go
In 1663 a merchant turned the top floors of his house into a full church, with galleries and an altar, for Catholics barred from public worship. Below it, the rooms of the house are furnished as they were in the Golden Age.
It's in the middle of the old center, on the edge of the Red Light District.
