The most impressive rock church. The first building dates back to the year 1000, but renovations were made in the 18th century, including the construction of the bell tower.

When you visit this church, you will notice signs on the walls indicating the different "stations" that were used for filming the Stations of the Cross for Mel Gibson's The Passion of the Christ.
