Dom zu St. Jakob,
Innsbruck
by antistar Innsbruck's cathedral looks best from the river, where its twin spires prick up like the ears of an attentive pinscher. It would have been even better if the view wasn't obscured by the houses built just in front of it. As it is getting a picture of the cathedral in its entirety seems a fruitless exercise, except perhaps with a wide angled lens in the courtyard just in front.
The St James Cathedral was built between 1717 and 1724 on the site of a previous church. You can go inside and view the baroque interior and it costs only a donation. The cathedral is open until 7.30pm (6.30pm in the winter) and is closed on Saturdays. Leave a Comment
