The newly built church also retains the structure and basic decoration of the previous church the bell tower and the Gothic exterior doors. The most precious thing about visiting the◆ is the medieval statue of the Virgin in the church. The Virgin statue is a product of the 16th century, which is now 500 years old. In front of the statue of the Virgin there is a large Gothic arch, which is a historical relic of the Renaissance and is of great research value. Locals say the Virgin Mary is a miracle because the disaster caused by the earthquake was actually very serious, many buildings in the city were damaged, and churches were destroyed, but the Virgin is intact.
