Know before you go

The adjoining museum, housed in the old monastery, displays religious art and colonial-era artifacts.

Look up at the ceiling inside — the three-dimensional-looking dome decoration is actually a flat painted illusion.

It's an active parish, so check Mass times if you want to avoid visiting during a service.
