Wandering Around a Centuries Old Church

It may seem a little strange to be wandering around the San Agustin Museum but at one point of the museum, I sort lost my way. I lost track of the signs for the museum goers and I forgot where I should be going next. The museum’s layout was basically rectangular with a large courtyard in the middle so I felt stupid to get confused. Most of the halls looks identical so it was not difficult to get disoriented. All of the halls had large paintings hanging and it was not easy picking a landmark.

I eventually stumbled upon a stone staircase which leads upstairs, I wasn’t really sure whether I was transpassing but since there was no “no entry” sign, I figured that it should be okay to go up. The staircase was impressive as it evoked scenes of a era long gone. The stone walls and the staircase combined with a simple chandelier give a really medieval feeling not seen anywhere else. The stairwell had a dome from which hung the chandelier. The dome looks too clean to be considered new though and I won’t be surprised it were really the case.
