Explorar Múnich

Munich's oldest parish church, on a site used for worship since before the city's founding in 1158; the present building dates largely from the 14th century after a fire in 1327. Its 91-metre tower, nicknamed Alter Peter, can be climbed for a view over the city, and the interior holds a Baroque high altar and Gothic paintings by Jan Polack.

Munich's late-Gothic cathedral, a brick hall church begun by Jörg von Halspach in 1468 and consecrated in 1494. Its twin towers, capped with onion domes almost 99 metres high, are a symbol of the city; the south tower is reached by stairs and a lift and gives a view over Munich and, on clear days, the Alps.
