My first view of the cathedral behind the remain portion of the Roman city walls in the front of the photo.
From he front, it becomes clear that the cathedral was built very close to the Roman walls of the city.
The highest spire was finished with the front facade in 1882. It was designed in the Neo-Gothic style that was popular at the time. It appears delicate and allows light to pass through it.
The interior domes and vaults allow for the open space of the nave with the chapels along the sides.
This is the choir area that I mentioned where the sovereigns of Europe met in 1519 with the Order of the Golden Fleece presided over by King Charles I.
The closer look at the exterior facade of the cathedral.
