Why St. Stephen's Cathedral matters
The soaring gothic spire of St. Stephen's rises from the heart of the city, and the roof is covered in a bright zigzag pattern of coloured tiles. Inside, there are catacombs and carved altars, and you can climb a tower for a city view. It's the symbol of Vienna.
Talking points
- The roof is covered in patterned tiles.
