Stephansdom
25 July 2022
ENGLISH:
The Cathedral of Santo Stefano (Stephansdom) is the symbol of Wien, as well as the most important religious building of the city. It was built in 1147 and it is in the Gothic style. It can be accessed by the so-called Portal of the Giants. The external part consists of two towers: the highest (Steffl), which is located to the south and at the top of which there is a platform from which you can admire the city; the north tower on which is hung the famous bell Pummerin, the biggest one of Austria. A very interesting detail is the tiled roof, composed of 250.000 tiles which represent the three coats of arms of Austria, of the city of Wien and of the Habsburg dynasty. The inside of Stephansdom comprehends artwork, statues, altars and chapels. There are also the Catacombs, used as a burial place for important historical figures.
Stephansdom is a must-see. It is located in the center of the city, in the Stephansplatz.

Il Duomo di Santo Stefano è il simbolo della città di Vienna, nonchè l’edificio religioso più importante della città. Fu costruito nel 1147 ed è in stile gotico. Vi si accede tramite il cosiddetto Portale dei Giganti. La parte esterna del duomo è costituita da due torri: la più alta (Steffl), che si trova a sud e alla cui sommità vi è una piattaforma da cui si ammirare la città; la torre nord a cui è appesa la famosa campana Pummerin, la più grande di tutta l’Austria. Un particolare molto interessante è il tetto maiolicato, composto da 250.000 piastrelle che rappresentano i tre stemmi dell’Austria, della città di Vienna e della dinastia asburgica. L’interno del Duomo di Santo Stefano comprende diverse opere d’arte, statue, altari e cappelle. Molto importanti sono anche le Catacombe, adibite a luogo di sepoltura di importanti personaggi della storia.
Il Duomo di Santo Stefano è una delle tappe obbligatorie di Vienna. Si trova proprio in centro, nella Stephansplatz.
