Visiting St. Stephen's Cathedral in Vienna

| No Comments | No TrackBacks

St. Stephen's Cathedral is located in Vienna, Austria. The cathedral dates from th 1100s, but Roman ruins of a cemetary have been located on the ground before the cathedral was built. Visitors can step inside the cathedral for a quick look around the main area, but going further inside it would cost. The cathedral has a nicely-decorated and colourful roof, and the building does look beautiful in the sunlight and almost turns into a gold colour. Th square has a few cafes and several shops, and visitors can take a horse and carriage ride from here too.

Outside the cathedral is a smaller model of it.

There are also some religious reliefs designed onto the sides of the building.

I took some photographs of the gargoyles and detail of the exterior.

There are several beautiful buildings in Vienna, but this is probably one of the most beautiful ones.
