Bamberg, Germany in 2010 – Part 2, the Bamberg Cathedral
The Bamberg Imperial Cathedral of St. Peter and St. George is a late Romanesque building with four towers. It was founded in 1004 by Emperor Henry II, finished in 1012 and consecrated on 6 May 1012. It was later partially destroyed by fire in 1081. The new cathedral, built by Saint Otto of Bamberg, was consecrated in 1111 and in the 13th century received its present late-Romanesque form. The cathedral is 94 m (308 ft) long, 28 m (92 ft) wide, 26 m (85 ft) high, and the four towers are each about 81 m (266 ft) high. It contains many historic works of art, including many statues and a fine wooden altar carved by Veit Stoss. The building has a choir at both ends. The east chancel is dedicated to St. George. This symbolizes the Holy Roman Empire. The west chancel is dedicated to St. Peter symbolizing the Pope.

Another nice set of shots, David. Unfortunately I didn't get to see the inside of this cathedral, couldn't make it up the hill!
