The white tents are not permanent in the sense that they are there year-round. They are there to allow for the regional markets to have a place to display and sell their wares, and the regions and vendors change on a regular basis. Generally they are up for much of the year but not always. These are great market places and don't be afraid to bargain. Enjoy!!

2 hours should be plenty of time to walk around and visit the church & possibly the museums. This is definitely not a whole day thing, after 2-3 hours you would want to get some rest …
