Erfurt Cathedral, a masterpiece of International Gothic architecture, stands as a testament to the rich history and cultural heritage of Erfurt, central Germany. This grand structure is not only the largest church in the city but also serves as the episcopal seat of the Roman Catholic Diocese of Erfurt. Perched on a hillside, it offers a commanding view of the town square and, alongside St Severus' Church, forms a prominent landmark. The cathedral's history dates back to a Romanesque basilica built in the 12th century, with the current Gothic edifice heralding from the 14th century, showcasing stunning stained glass windows and the world's largest medieval free-swinging bell, the "Gloriosa".
