In 2016, the church received a multi-million euro makeover, restoring its grandeur. As for the architecture, the building boasts a Romanesque style and was, for the most part, was built in the 12th century and later expanded by Pope John XXII but you can surely spot it from afar with the striking gilded statue of Mary which was added in 1859.
