Re: Basilica of Bom Jesus.

Hello @aaryesdee,

Thanks for sharing!

 

The basilica is looking very old and interesting. I'm always impressed by how well kept these old divine structures are.

 

Were you visiting the basilica as a tourist or do you live in the region?

Re: Basilica of Bom Jesus.

It's incredible to think about how such a place looked half a century ago @aaryesdee.

 

Your second photo looks like a courtyard you usually see in monasteries.

 

Is the photo taken from inside the basilica?

Re: Basilica of Bom Jesus.

it's a very impressive structure @aaryesdee, and I suppose it's well visited by tourists too. 

 

Is it mainly a tourist attraction or do local also use the basilica every day?

Re: Basilica of Bom Jesus.

Thank you very much @aaryesdee, I appreciate it.

 

It is always much better to be shown around by locals than to follow the guide books. 

 

This way you get to see the real culture and not just what attracts the most tourists.
