Most visitors come because they have heard of the religious remains but that is only a part of the story. However the town is best and most generally known for its religious past. This what makes it a Heritage Town.Yet the town is also a living and growing entity. It has a high level of artistic activity in all kinds of ways, from theatre to bands. This section will expand soon, including our local and very successful Indie band, Ham Sandwich and various other locals.
