Saba
Locals refer to this charming 1935-built stone Catholic church as ‘Saba’s Sistine Chapel’ thanks to Dutch-born local artist Heleen Cornet's colorful and stunningly detailed altar mural, which infuses biblical scenes with a Saban rainforest twist.
You can browse and buy Cornet's works at the Five Square Art Gallery in Windwardside.
