It's quite famous Richard.
Originally constructed in the late 1500s and restored in the late 1800s.
Murals even show the arrival of French; that alone makes it worth a visit.
I just hope that some form of conservation of the murals is planned before they are lost forever.

Ron - Thanks heaps for the link. Additional info on sights seen over here is something I need to add to my goodie bag.

My fault Richard, was trying to do too many things at once (overlapped some Wats!) , i've corrected it
