Brixen Cathedral, Minor Basilica in Brixen, South Tyrol.

The cathedral features twin towers on its facade, a three-aisled nave, and incorporates 33 different types of marble throughout its structure.

The original cathedral from 980 underwent reconstruction after two fires around 1200, leading to a complete transformation into Baroque style between 1745 and 1754.

Paul Troger created extensive ceiling frescoes spanning 200 square meters, depicting the Adoration of the Lamb, Angel Concert, and life events of Saint Cassian.

The cathedral stands in central Brixen, within walking distance from the train station and near several parking areas for visitors arriving by car.

The cathedral houses an organ with 3,335 pipes and 84 stops, while its adjacent cloister contains Romanesque and Gothic frescoes by regional artists.
