A very special city in Indonesia when it comes to Easter, namely Larantuka where a big celebration called Semana Santa is held there every Easter.

Larantuka is one of the main destinations for religious tourism for Catholics in Indonesia. In general, Flores plays an important role in the religiosity of Catholics. There are many historic old churches, as well as new and magnificent ones, as well as statues and other places to go as part of a religious experience.
