Ragusa. Church of Santa Maria at the staircase (Chiesa di Santa Maria delle Scale)

The oldest Church of Ragusa, founded by Cistercian monks in the thirteenth century.

Getting inside, and even more difficult to photograph there, is quite difficult - the temple opens only during mass. But during the divine service, inspection of the interior is not allowed, as the sign at the entrance clearly informs. At the end of the service, there are only five minutes until the lights go out, which is a clear signal to vacate the room. I managed to walk around the Church for no more than 10 minutes.
