Vienna 2: St. Stephan’s Cathedral [Sky Watch Friday]

The current Romanesque and Gothic form of St. Stephan’s Cathedral stands on the ruins of two earlier churches, the first a parish church consecrated in 1147. Its multi-colored tile roof is one of the city's most recognizable symbols, especially the distinctive eagles.




                                          I took only one interior [grainy] shot.
 

 Upon exiting the cathedral, I caught a glimpse of these Romanesque columns/capitals framing the doorway [another good motto: always look back].
