The symbol of the city, for many, is the towers of the Frauenkirche - but there are many other churches in the Bavarian capital.
The interior of the Frauenkirche is spacious; it can accomodate 20,000 people. Tall in Gothic spirit, the cathedral is remarkable because of the effort to make the central aisle such that the stained glass windows could not be seen. Much of the cathedral has been destroyed in World War II and had to be restored. From here, it is a short walk to the oldest church of central Munich, the Pieterskirche or St. Peter's Church. It is claimed that monks lived here on a hill from the 8th century onwards, before Munich was even founded. The domes remind you of those of the Cathedral although the towers are much more modest in height.
