En välskött kyrka som arrangerar underhållning för allmänheten utöver sina vanliga åtagande.

A wonderful church dating back from 1881, built in a strong neo-gothic feel and refurbished several times over the past few decades, most recently in 2013. The interior is welcoming and the walls are decorated well; there are sermons and concerts all year round and the parish nearby offers more services (such as pensioner's breakfast) if one is a member. I would've wished that the church was a little older, but the old church (from the 14th century or so) had to be demolished one-hundred years ago as it was too small. Since nothing can be done to reverse that decision, I'll award this church five stars for everything else which it offers.

Nice church with some really old gravestones outside on the lawn. Church originally built around 1260. Been rebuilt after that. The church tower is from 1617.

Villa d'Este

The Villa d'Este is a 16th-century villa in Tivoli, near Rome, famous for its terraced hillside Italian Renaissance garden and especially for its profusion of fountains: the extraordinary system contains fifty-one fountains and nymphaeums, 398 spouts, 364 water jets, 64 waterfalls, and 220 basins, fed by 875 meters of canals, channels and cascades, and all working entirely by the force of gravity, without pumps. It is now an Italian state museum, and is listed as a UNESCO world heritage site.

Tivoli had been a popular summer residence since ancient Roman times due to its altitude, cooler temperatures and its proximity to the Villa Hadriana, the summer residence of the Emperor Hadrian I.

The Villa was commissioned by Cardinal Ippolito II d'Este (1509-1572), second son of Alfonso I d'Este, the Duke of Ferrara and grandson of Pope Alexander VI, along with Lucrezia Borgia.
