Maybe we need a landuse=institutional or landuse=religious to tag these
things. I simply applied amenity=place_of_worship to the whole grounds since
I couldn't tag the land with anything else remotely appropriate. The
Santuario is the whole place and not just the one specific building where
services are held.
