A neo-Gothic church in Vaduz, it was built in 1873. It's majestic standing in the centre of the city. No fee to view inside, and it's definitely worth going inside.

This is one of the main tourist attractions in the city of Vaduz. Entrance is free and not restricted. Inside of the cathedral is extremely silent and clam and the interior is beautifully designed. There's nothing much to do in this city. If you plan to visit Vaduz, don't forget to add this location to your itenerary.

Beautiful cathedral in the middle of Vaduz. Calm and peaceful

Nice to visit but apart from this church there aren't many things to see, especially, the Schloss is not open for public. It's kind of a boring town. And seems some tourists just come here for the passport stamp.

Temple of Edfu

The Temple of Edfu is one of the best preserved ancient shrines in Egypt. It was built in the Ptolemaic Kingdom between 237 and 57 BC.

Edfu was one of several temples built during the Ptolemaic Kingdom, including the Dendera Temple complex, Esna, the Temple of Kom Ombo, and Philae. Its size reflects the relative prosperity of the time. The present temple initially consisted of a pillared hall, two transverse halls, and a barque sanctuary surrounded by chapels. The building was started during the reign of Ptolemy III Euergetes and completed in 57 BC under Ptolemy XII Auletes. It was built on the site of an earlier, smaller temple also dedicated to Horus, although the previous structure was oriented east–west rather than north–south as in the present site.
