TA reviews seem to love the Basilica di Santo Stefano; I was less excited about it because of the lack of signage and little to see. Upon walking in you can’t enter the upstairs portion of the church and the lower portion is for reflection and pray only. After making a donation by the watchful Priest you enter another church...

As with most travellers, we fell for the charm and peaceful surroundings. A lovely place to have a drink and pastry and gaze at the architecture.
