The symbol of the city, for many, is the towers of the Frauenkirche - but there are many other churches in the Bavarian capital.
It so happened that the first church I saw in Munchen, was the famous Frauenkirche. Famous because it has grown into the symbol of the city, with its typical brass onion domes on top of the belltowers. Although the church was built in Gothic style in the late 15th century, the domes do not match the style. Initially, they were intended to be spires, but lack of money caused them to be added later. Being the Cathedral of Munich, the Frauenkirche was the see of actual Pope Benedict XVI, and has a commemorative plaque in his honour. When standing in front of the church, it is difficult not to feel dwarfed by the slender, tall towers, which are actually not completely similar in height.
