St. Stephen's TILED Cathedral - Vienna

From school with Elizabeth in the morning, I headed into the center of the city to meet up with Vince at a coffee shop. On the way, I enjoyed some time around St. Stephen's Cathedral.

The blue sky helped to make the cathedral even more gorgeous. I hadn't noticed the amazing tiled details on the roof of the church the other day - since it had been cloudy. Suddenly, the details stood out to me and I realized how great it was. I have never seen a patterned cathedral rooftop before... and now I'm wondering why more don't do this! Gorgeous.

There are over 200,000 tiles!



The next day, I took a visit inside the cathedral...

Stephansdom (St. Stephen's Cathedral) - Vienna

After dropping my bag at Vince and Elizabeth's place and saying hi to the doggies, Pancho and Bonita, Vince and I went to the center of the city to walk around and explore.

We got off the red line of the metro at the Stephansplatz stop... and walking up the steps from the underground, we were greeted with a stunning view of Stephansdom, or... St. Stephen's Cathedral.


Below are photos from my 3rd day in Vienna... it is still beautiful weather temperature-wise... but not the brilliant blue sky anymore. Still? --> ...this city is gorgeous.





The cathedral has over 200,000 tiles, creating a beautiful pattern on the roof.
