Worms Cathedral

St. Peter's Cathedral in Worms is one of the most important Romanesque churches in the Rhine valley, together with the cathedrals of Speyer and Mainz. Only the ground plan and the lower part of the western towers are from the original construction consecrated in 1110. The rest was largely completed in 1181, but the west chancel and vault were built in the 13th century, the elaborate south portal was added in the 14th century, and the central dome was rebuilt.
