St. Stephen's Cathedral (German: Stephansdom) is the mother church of the Archdiocese of Vienna and the seat of the Archbishop of Vienna, Christoph Cardinal Schönborn, OP. Its current Romanesque and Gothic form seen today, situated at the heart of Vienna, Austria in the Stephansplatz, was largely initiated by Rudolf IV and stands on the ruins of two earlier churches, the first being a parish church consecrated in 1147. As the most important religious building in Austria's capital, the cathedral has borne witness to many important events in that nation's history and has, with its multi-colored tile roof, become one of the city's most recognizable symbols.

No matter how far I walked away from it, I still had problems to get all of the cathedral within my photo!!! Even if you're not religious or into church architecture, this cathedral will make you fascinated for sure. Bonus: around the Stephansplatz there's several big shopping streets with lots of cafes and restaurants making it to a very pleasant area to just hang around :-P You can read our full review of it here: http://lifecruiser.com/archive/stephansplatz-in-vienna/
