Why Cathedral of St Peter and Paul matters
You see its twin spires from almost everywhere in the city. Inside is a calm Gothic and baroque interior. The bells ring noon at eleven, a local tradition with a story behind it. It is a short, steep walk from the centre, and the park around it is a pleasant place to pause.
Talking points
- Its twin spires define the skyline.
- The bells ring noon at eleven o'clock.
