St. Emmeram's Basilica, Minor basilica and parish church in Regensburg, Germany.

St. Emmeram's is a three-aisled basilica in central Regensburg with multiple choirs and a west transept. The interior is marked by medieval stone reliefs and structural elements from different building periods.

The church was founded in 780 and was originally connected to a Benedictine monastery. Pope Paul VI granted it the status of minor basilica in 1964.

The church interior shows features from different building periods, ranging from Romanesque foundations to Gothic rebuilding and Baroque decoration.

The basilica is accessible during regular opening times and welcomes visitors of all kinds. Guided tours are available to help explain the interior architecture and artworks on display.
