The building is renowned for its ornate architectural details including stained glass, sculptures, and mosaics – all contributing to a visually stunning interior. It’s considered a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 1997 recognizing its cultural and architectural significance. The hall's acoustics are highly regarded, making it a favored venue for classical music performances.
