St. Stephen’s Cathedral, Vienna
September 1, 2008
The subject of my “Name the city - part 2” is Stephansdom or the St. Stephen’s Cathedral in Vienna. This church is dedicated to St. Stephen, also known as the patron of the bishop’s cathedral in Passau.
The facade of the church.
As soon as you come up from the Stephansplatz subway station, this grand Romanesque and Gothic cathedral will greet you. The area around it are all filled up with tourists. You can’t miss this imposing structure when you’re in Vienna as it is one of the most visited site by tourists.
Tourists! A building right across St. Stephen.
Note the beautiful roof mosaic of the building.

The catacombs under Stephansdom are pretty cool. Don’t miss them while in Vienna!
