ARE YOU AWARE?

A never-ending tale
People maintain and build to the complex on a daily basis. Because of the wood’s proximity to the sea and daily exposure to the sun and salt air, maintenance will always be required.

The building itself and a nearby warehouse, which you can also visit, are used for part production and repair. Not a day passes by when the facility is not worked on by more than 200 employees. Therefore, while visiting The Sanctuary of Truth, you must wear a safety helmet. These can be borrowed without charge at the entry.
The Sanctuary of Truth may appear to be very old, but that is actually not a negative thing. The original plan calls for completion by 2050, but construction didn’t start until 1981.
