This is a "cute" little church en right behind the Stravinsky fountain. I really dig the tiny little buttresses along side the walls. Buttresses are used as an additional way to stabilize the vaulted ceiling going over the open space inside the building. As you can see, the big windows and doors cut into the sides of the main walls are so large that without the buttresses, the building would topple. This whole area is interesting to me because right next to this super old church you've got a building devoted to the newest of the new. There are always a lot of people lounging about around the fountain there, and in the church yard. If there weren't so many people trying to sell you stuff, this would be a really neat place to hang out.
