Children love patterns and stories. The complex offers both.

Ideas

  • Count marble colors and shapes.
  • Spot angels and instruments in frescoes.
  • Map views from the terrace.

Tip: Short, frequent breaks beat marathon tours.

Games

  • Color hunt: white, green, pink.
  • Angel spotting and instrument bingo.
  • View sketch from terrace.

Safety

  • Hand‑holding in narrow corridors.
  • Breaks and snacks.
  • Respect barriers and surfaces.

Bottom line: Curiosity is the best guide; give it structure.
