At least the sun is shining as I spread my pages at the base of a nice statue. We spend ages reading the material and nearby street signs trying to determine our position. O.K. to my left is the 65 metre Kornyakt Tower and the dark basilica like building must be the Gunpowder Tower. To my right is the Royal Arsenal and behind that crowned with a large green dome is the Dominican Catholic Church. The church has stately columns gracing the entrance and numerous statues loom high above.
Various statues adorn the protruding chapels.
Indoors there are more imposing columns and some interesting gold painted wooden sculptures and paintings on the walls, but other than that is not particularly impressive. Possibly all that beige paint made it appear less attractive. We are offered a tour of the museum, but time is running short as we have to return to vacate our hotel room. The little chapel attached is nice but the door is locked. On our way back to the hotel, we pass an interesting building.
