    Since the church is open all day, you could start at the 1579 stone façade, then head straight inside to the original 16th century iconostasis, and finish at the side chapel with the early pulpit. Right next to the church is a small Dutch style gatehouse you can glance at. If you have a few minutes after, the nearby St. Joseph’s Church on the same street is another quick 17th century spot worth a look. A short coffee break at Hotel Aida, just under a kilometre away, would let you rest before you keep driving.
