The altar is the reason to step inside: its elaborate carving gives the church a detail that photographs of Casco streets cannot convey. Allow a quiet look at the interior, then continue through the neighboring blocks. Worship can affect access, so the visit works best with flexibility rather than a tightly timed route.
