St. Paul's has such a majestic parish church that it seems to dominate the entire landscape and villagescape. This "cathedral in the countryside" was meant to speak of wealth and power, as as early as the 12th century, St. Paul's was the richest parish in South Tyrol and the original parish of the Oltradige region. In the 15th century, the village rose to become the capital of the municipality of Eppan. Construction of the present church began around 1460 and was only completed in 1647 with the addition of the church tower with its Baroque onion dome. It rises an impressive 85 meters into the sky. Its architectural and artistic details make the parish church one of the most important religious buildings in South Tyrol!Source: weinstrasse.com/de/highlights/sehenswuerdigkeiten/kirchen-kloester/pfarrkirche-st-pauls-eppan

São Paulo is famous for its imposing Baroque bell tower and historic residences, it is a place of particular beauty. It will be easy to find some nice little place to stop for a break.
Fun fact: the construction of the "Duomo della Valle", a very ambitious project, lasted a century. This is why the church is characterized by different architectural styles which include Gothic, Renaissance and Baroque elements!

It is a late Gothic hall church, whose interior appears unified despite various architects and construction phases. The most enchanting features include the magnificent high altar and the two side altars by the Innsbruck painter and sculptor Michael Stolz, as well as the 15th-century statue of the Madonna and Child, and the coats of arms of noble families. Incidentally, the bells were naturally adapted to the large volume of the church tower; the largest weighs almost 5 tons. As early as 1952, it was described as the "most beautiful and famous chime in South Tyrol."Source: weinstrasse.com/de/highlights/sehenswuerdigkeiten/kirchen-kloester/pfarrkirche-st-pauls-eppan
