Mainz Cathedral Description
(Local Name: Dom) In the center of Mainz stands the six-towered Cathedral of St Martin and St Stephen, which ranks along with the cathedrals of Speyer and Worms as one of the supreme achievements of Romanesque religious architecture on the Upper Rhine. The Cathedral was begun in 975, but most of the building dates from the 11th-13th centuries.
