What you'll see
The city's cathedral: a huge, plain red-brick church whose two towers with round green caps are Munich's symbol. Inside it's tall, white and bright, and near the door there's a dark mark on the floor known as the Devil's Footstep.
A brief history
It was built in about twenty years in the late 1400s, a fast job for a church this size. The towers' rounded caps came a few decades later, and the city still keeps new buildings in the centre lower than them.
