Views from München

Here are some pics of the more famous buildings in München.

This is the Frauenkirche (Dom zu Unsere Lieben Frau or the Cathedral of our Blessed Lady). Construction began in 1468 and the church was consecrated in 1494. The domes at the tops of the towers were completed in 1525.*
