Photograph the basilica's commanding façade, bell tower and ornate interior altars and frescoes—contrast between exterior stonework and warm stained-glass-lit nave. Best at golden hour for soft side light on the piazza; weekday mornings are quieter. Central location with street parking and paid lots nearby; modest dress and silence requested inside. Check opening hours around masses; some areas may restrict tripods.
