Martyrium of St Philip the Apostle

TIME : 2016/2/19 2:49:23

From the theatre, take one of the rough tracks heading uphill and eventually you'll come to the extraordinary octagonal Martyrium of St Philip the Apostle, built on the site where it's believed that St Philip was martyred. The arches of the eight individual chapels are all marked with crosses. Views from here are wonderful, and few of the regular tours bother to bring visitors up this far.
