Why it is worth your time

A peaceful Romanesque-Gothic cloister hides just off the Stradun. The old pharmacy still operates and the monastery keeps a precious library. Stay a little longer for the audio guide: the best details often sit in the edges of the scene, in the stone, the side streets and the way people naturally pass through the place. That context turns the stop from a marker into a short story.
