    Incredibly ancient heritage and it has to be visited by everyone.

    For the price, we got almost nothing. The texts describing the tomb were badly translated and hard to even understand. The tomb itself is entirely reconstructed, almost nothing ancient remaining visible. They even added cheap lights and bad music, which makes the whole expwrience even worse. Nothing to be seen, really, quite pointless.

    Old magical place which is worth to visit. Calm and cool in a hot summer day.

    VERY impressive but I wish they would attend to the access road, parking, weeds and general surroundings to do justice to such a wonderful landmark.

    It's quiet and somehow ignored historical place simply passed by by most of tourists travelling in this area. However this, in my opinion, is a must visit place for intelligent people interested in history. Entrance is 3 leva (less than 2$). If you happen to be near this place (it's just 100 meters from the Pontica coastal highway) don't hesitate taking a brief break and visit that great place

    Visby Cathedral

    Visby Cathedral (also known as St. Mary’s Church) is the only survived medieval church in Visby. It was originally built for German merchants and inaugurated in 1225. Around the year 1350 the church was enlarged and converted into a basilica. The two-storey magazine was also added then above the nave as a warehouse for merchants.

    Following the Reformation, the church was transformed into a parish church for the town of Visby. All other churches were abandoned. Shortly after the Reformation, in 1572, Gotland was made into its own Diocese, and the church designated its cathedral.

    There is not much left of the original interior. The font is made of local red marble in the 13th century. The pulpit was made in Lübeck in 1684. There are 400 graves under the church floor.
