Basilica of SS. Ulrich and Afra
Basilika St. Ulrich und Afra
A late Gothic cathedral at the end of Maximilianstraße. Its onion-domed bell tower is a landmark of the old town skyline.
Built between the 15th and 17th centuries, the basilica is dedicated to the city's patron saints, Ulrich and Afra. Inside are three large Baroque altars and the saints' crypt. It stands side by side with the neighboring Protestant church, symbolizing the coexistence of the two faiths after the 1555 Peace of Augsburg. Admission is free. It is about a 10-minute walk from the town hall along Maximilianstraße, and it can be combined with Schaezler Palace and the Puppet Theatre.
