The Place:
The Church of Saint Ursula great example of early 18th century Baroque architecture. The church of Marc Antonio Canevalle was completed in 1704 (as the church for the attached Ursuline convent) and is unique in that the nave is parallel to the street, rather than perpendicular. The original sculptures of 1672 still decorate the facade of this Baroque church. Statues featuring St John Nepomuk (1747) are in front.
