A Highlight of Vienna - Stephansdom
Stephansdom, located in the heart of Vienna, Austria, is the mother church of the Archdiocese of Vienna. The current Romanesque and Gothic structure is on the ruins of two earlier churches and was consecrated in 1147. The cathedral is the most important religious building in the capital and, with the diamond shaped, multi-colored tile roof, is one of the city’s most recognizable symbols. Since 1683 it has housed the Pummerin bell, which is one of the largest bells in the world. The cathedral has held some of the nation’s most important events, such as Mozart's wedding in 1782 and his funeral in December 1791.
