Catholic Church in the capital city.
We went inside 4 churches and
each were absolutely beautiful.








This is a sample of the gold
work inside the above church.
Most churches had this type of work.
Many of the smaller churches of
course didn't have as much detail.
Since it is Lent, most had some
types of purple cloths at the front of the church.
