CATHEDRAL OF SPEYER
An important cathedral with a façade of light-colored stone streaked with pinkish stone and beautiful Romanesque arches in Speyer.
Its official name is Domkirche St. Maria und St. Stephan. Classified in 1981 by Unesco as a "universal cultural heritage", it is one of Germany's most important Romanesque buildings. Its façade of light-colored stone streaked with pink, its fine Romanesque arcades and its height make it a truly impressive monument. Emperor Conrad II initiated its construction in 1030. Completed in 1061, it retained its original proportions until 1689, when a major fire and subsequent looting destroyed much of it.
