This lovely old Town has a wealth of buildings from all architectural periods. The Cathedral like church sits among them like a mother hen guarding her chicks. The church dedicated to St. John the Baptist, Our Lady & St Laurence, was started in 1340, was continually enlarged and improved until finally completed in 1510. Adjacent can be seen the fully restored windmill.
