Upon entering the cathedral, we happened to encounter a Mass in progress. Staff reminded us to be quiet and not take photos. Still, we couldn't resist - the interior architecture was just too beautiful. Every brick and tile exuded delicacy and solemnity, complemented by distinctive 19th-century vintage elements. In a word: beautiful. In two words: absolutely beautiful.
