The two cathedrals

What it is

An old cathedral from the twelfth century and a new one from the sixteenth, joined together rather than one replacing the other. A restoration in 1992 added a small astronaut to a doorway, which is now the most photographed carving in the city.

Getting there

Beside the university, in the centre.

When to go

Any time. The tower climb is best in clear weather.

On a student budget

The tower route along the roofline — the Ieronimus — is the one to pay for; the view over the sandstone city is the picture you will send home. Around €6–8 and worth it once.
