Parish Church of St Michael the Archangel


This Gothic place of worship sits at the highest point of the Old Town, as befits a building that's been here in various manifestations since the 13th century. It has a nave and just one aisle with a row of six Gothic columns running right across the middle, plus a 16th-century font, baroque sculptures and a 15th-century Madonna with Child.
