    Theatinerkirche or St. Kajetan is the beautiful yellow baroque church at Odeonsplatz. It was built to look a bit like the churches of Rome or Venice that's why it is one of the most beautiful churches in Munich. The inside with the big dome is worth a look as well!

    The architecture of this fine baroque church dates back to two Italians, Barelli and Zuccalli in the 17th century. Its Mediterranean appearance and yellow coloring is a spectacular site. Open daily 9am-7pm

    This Italian Baroque church came about because its founder, Princess Henriette Adelaide was a native of Turin, Italy and didn't think that Bavarian architects were up to snuff. So, she had a guy from Bologna named Agostino Barelli do the job.

    In my assessment, he did a decent job. The interior is striking only in that it is so darn white!! Everywhere you look, it's white! And, as you can tell from the picture, the outside is boldly yellow, another hint of Italian roots.

    The Theatinerkirche St. Kajetan was built in 1663-75 by Barelli, who used the St. Andrea della Valle iN Rome as the model. The dome and two towers and the center section of the façade were added later. The church contains the Fürstengruft (Prince’s Tomb), the burial place for many important members of the Wittelsbach family.

    The Theatinerkirche is another of most beatiful churches that you can see in the city of Munich.It is located also very close to Marientzplatz and it was built in1.662.We had the chance during our visit to see this nice church by the inside also.

    Our time was short and we had too many new places to see on this amazing city,so we were glad to have the chance to see some of best buildings and places in Munich by the interior.Unfortunatelly we saw also a few things just by exterior,but at least we saw all best places in Munich,.

    Painted a bold naples yellow, this church lends a very Italian feel to Odeonsplatz. While having a similar structure to the nearby St Lukas, with twin dome topped spires flanking a central domed roof, it has a colour and Baroque facade that could have been ripped from any city in Italy. Diagonally opposite the Italianate Hofgarten, and at the beginning of the long, straight and wide boulevard of Ludwigstrasse, it creates an impression that is as much Milan as Munich.

    We never had time to go in, but this wonderfully warm, yellow church, also known as St Catejan, charmed me. Modelled on a roman church in the 17th century, it is at its most beautiful when seen in sunshine from the top of one of the other churches in the city.

    In the southwest corner of the Odeonplatz and next to the Feldherrnhalle is the beautiful Baroque Theatinerkirche (or St Cajetan), which ranks as one of Munich's most regal churches. Its golden-yellow towers and green copper dome are adding a welcome splash of colour to the city skyline.

    The Theatinerkirhe Church (Saint Kaethan) is a basilica in style of a high baroque. Kurfurst Ferdinand Maria and his spouse founded church as a token of gratitude for a birth of the long-awaited successor of throne Max Emmanuel. After consecration the church St Kaethan was transferred to Theatinen monks. The construction proceeded till 1663 to 1770.
