The six-towered Speyer Cathedral (Dom) of St Mary and St Stephen, the largest and most imposing cathedral of the High Romanesque period in Germany, was begun about 1030 by the Salian emperor Conrad II and consecrated in 1061. Between 1082 and 1125, in the reigns of Henry IV and V, a major rebuilding took place.
In the west porch are statues of the eight emperors and kings buried in the Cathedral.
