Audio tour · Cathedral of St. James

2:29

You're standing on the Pfarrplatz, in front of Innsbruck Cathedral, the church of Saint James. Start with the two towers and the big dome. Together they rise above the green copper roofs of the old town. The name isn't a coincidence. Innsbruck sat on a pilgrim route to Santiago de Compostela, and that's all about Saint James.
