We went to the of St Magnus - we should have checked the times beforehand because we had to wait until the lights which illuminate the came on, It was no big deal because it gave us time to explore the town and have a quiet drink in the nearby piazza. The cost was nine euros a head (as of September 2022) but well worth it. The cathedral is beautiful but the is something else with intricate marbled mosaic floors and some interesting frescos. A truly extraordinary place, especially the underground area with its medieval frescoes. The of San Magno is the real highlight: hundreds of square meters of perfectly preserved 12th–13th-century frescoes that cover the walls and vaults entirely. Walking down there feels like stepping into another world, the atmosphere is quiet, ancient, almost sacred. The scenes from the Bible, the vivid colours, and the Cosmatesque mosaic floor all create one of the most impressive medieval spaces in Italy. Absolutely worth visiting and taking your time to admire every detail!! Quite beautiful even if quite small. Even though, the itself values the price of the ticket, it is amazing A bit expensive, but it was a beautiful stop. The is amazing. The place is nice to and quite old. The crypts are also cool, but the lighting system, which turns on/off and you can only enter them once, is a bit weird. I do understand the reasoning, but it does not really allow for a perfect visit. Maybe with a guide it does. Beautiful structure, art, and history combined. We had to make a reservation ahead of time, but even booking late in the evening the day before, they were able to accommodate us with no issues. Not a long tour, but a must-see when in the area. We visited on a Saturday, waited an hour for it to open at 1500. When we entered, we were informed that the was closed until 5 for a mass going on. You would think they would put this one the door or something. Welcome to Italy. We came back on Sunday morning for our scheduled visit, but were 5 minutes late due to having to park half a kilometer away. Both days we encountered employees that were as vile and hateful as we’ve experienced in Italy, and I’ve lived here for two and a half years. It’s almost like it’s a prerequisite to be venomous to work there. There was one lady that worked there that came Over to assist my wife with the elevator, she was gracious, however the elevator did not work. The church and are beautiful and worth visiting if you can get by Cruella and Lucretia. Wow! What a fantastic place and a great visit. The booking system is easy and the staff are delightful. It's such a good idea to have times entries like this as it enables people to be alone in the for a short time in complete silence which really enhances the whole experience. Great place o if you are history freak. The underground Chappel is a jewel with most astonishing early medieval frescoes all over the walls and ceiling. In the museum you may found a great collection of XIII c clergy robes, another frescoes, a copy of famous Corpus Iuris Civilis from a year 1518 and the remains of medieval mosaics, helas, on the Roman stellas. The reservation is necessary on the proper hour. The museum is not open, as it is stated, from 9 to 13 on Sundays. Actually, the chappel with frescoes is closed at 11:30 (!!!) already and later there is a Holy mess, while the rest of museum, only with mosaics and roman remains stays open. May by in the afternoon is is better organized. Gorgeous place, especially the crypt, and very interesting. 9€ is a fair price for the size and richness of experience. Constructive criticism: it's very inconvenient to have to send a booking request email, and have to wait for a reply, and to have to choose an exact entry time, especially if you're travelling a considerable distance. Also, the free app with audioguide is a great asset, however it would be good to provide the link to download it on the website, so you can get it before your visit, plus at times it's difficult to understand which exhibit the guide is referring to, so referrence numbers in the corner of each exhibit would be helpful. Overall, highly recommended. An amazing piece of artwork and history - a place on the MUST list in Italy. The is called “the small Cappella Sistina”. BUT BE WARE - the employees are extremely vile and hostile to visitors both Italian snd foreigners. They come up with all reasons not to let you in. We returned three times in one day and at the end had to make a scandal to be let in. Masses, christening and big tourist groups cause closing of the museum. Make an appointment for the upfront, be there early and stand your ground with the narrow minded employees. You can also try to call upfront to check for the working hours of the day.
