That this is considered heritage by UNESCO is completely incomprehensible. The church is very poorly maintained, the interior seems abandoned and the visit to the cloister is a scam. The visit to the cloister is not very expensive but, taking into account that it is practically an open space, it is not worth wasting time or money on it.
