The Speyer Cathedral is a building of overwhelming size. Its four towers rise beautifully over the city. The historical significance with the imperial tombs is impressive.

Panoramic all-round view and the gigantic cathedral from above.
The 6 euros are a bit steep, but it's worth the climb.

The Speyer Cathedral - officially the Domkirche St. Maria und St. Stephan - is an expression of imperial power at the time of the Salians and was built in opposition to the Abbey of Cluny as a building representing the papal opposition. Under the Salian Emperor Konrad II it was to become the largest church in the West. The plan of the basilica, which was often adopted in the Rhineland, is characterized by the balance of the eastern and western parts of the building and by the symmetrically placed towers that frame the volume formed by the nave and the transept. The construction, which began in 1030, became the first consistently vaulted church building in Europe in 1077 at the instigation of Henry IV. In the years that followed, its layout exerted a major influence on the development of Romanesque architecture of the 11th and 12th centuries.
