Fodor's Review:
This quiet little town has two sights worth visiting. Built in 1923 to commemorate those who died in World War I, Balata Church is an exact replica of Paris's Sacré-Coeur Basilica.
The Jardin de Balata has thousands of varieties of tropical flowers and plants. There are shaded benches from which to take in the mountain views. You can order anthuriums and other tropical flowers to be delivered to the airport. Rte. de Balata, Balata. 0596/64-48-73. EUR 7. Daily 9-5.
