Senado Square
STOP 1 · Start · allow 45 min

Senado Square

Notice the patterned paving and the buildings around the central space. Start slowly before following the pedestrian streets north.

Getting there: Begin at the square and take time to get your bearings.

St Dominic’s Church
STOP 2 · Next · allow 30–45 min

St Dominic’s Church

Pause by the yellow facade and check whether visiting the interior fits the day’s arrangements. Leave space for a snack nearby.

Getting there: Walk through the pedestrian area; allow 10–15 min.

Ruins of St Paul’s
STOP 3 · Finish · allow 45–60 min

Ruins of St Paul’s

Finish at the steps and facade. Adapt the approach if stairs are difficult; this short route need not become a rushed climb to another site.

Getting there: Continue uphill through the lanes; allow 15–25 min plus a snack stop.
