    The museum houses a notable collection of religious art, including paintings, sculptures, and liturgical objects. Many visitors appreciate the well-preserved frescoes and the ornate chapel. The museum's library, with its collection of rare books and manuscripts, is often highlighted as a point of interest for history enthusiasts.
