Erfurt Cathedral, also known as St. Mary's Cathedral, is a stunning Gothic-style cathedral located in Erfurt, Germany. It stands prominently on Domplatz (Cathedral Square) and is renowned for its impressive architecture and rich history. The cathedral was originally founded in the 8th century, though most of its current structure dates back to the 14th and 15th centuries. One of its most notable features is the central tower, which houses the largest medieval free-swinging bell in the world, known as the "Gloriosa." The interior is equally magnificent, with beautiful stained glass windows, intricate stone carvings, and a high altar that showcases exquisite craftsmanship.
