The Sts Peter and Paul Cathedral

The Sts Peter and Paul Cathedral is one of the most interesting monuments of Baroque architecture.

Interior of the Sts Peter and Paul Cathedral

After viewing the exterior of the Sts Peter and Paul Cathedral one may enter it through its western doors, that is, from the side of Cathedral Square. Inside the cathedral impresses one first of all with the sheer size of the church hall, divided into three naves by two rows of pylons. The pylons support the square pieces of the mighty entablature, upon which rest the great arches, which in their turn serve as the support for the groin vaults and the pendentives under the drum.
