Très bel édifice, richement décoré (stèles, tableaux, statues, rentables, pierres tombales et monuments funéraires, bas-reliefs, vitraux,...). Appli obligatoire, plus d'audioguides à disposition. Si vous voulez voir le trésor, venez l'après-midi (sauf le lundi). Prévoyez une heure et demie si vous voulez tout voir, 20min si vous voulez juste vous faire une idée générale du lieu.
