At the magnificent cathedral square where we will see colourful, ornately decorated old houses and the beautiful renaissance well.

For over a thousand years the mighty St. Martin's cathedral has towered over the ancient city of Mainz. Here kings have been crowned and the Protestant Reformation was kindled. Discover its many unique features, hear about its dramatic history and meet headless St. Alban in the cloisters.
