Rain writes its own drama on stone — lean into it.

Go‑to sequence

  • Basilica and museum rooms first.
  • Short exterior windows for moody photos.
  • Warm up with a drink, then repeat.

Note: Cobblestones can be slick. Walk slowly and wear grippy soles.


Shine or rain, the towers keep their pose.
