According to Dictionary.com, baroque means "extravagantly ornate, florid, and convoluted in character or style." Uh...yeah. Looks like someone threw up pink in this place. However, despite my personal criticism, our guide interestingly pointed out that during this era, the church drew people in by showing them something they did not have in their every day lives: color and ornamention. If that's the case, way to go chuch! Mission WAY accomplished!
