The men's choir at Christmas is simply great, as if you were at a concert.

This cathedral impresses with its simple elegance, which is unostentatious for Catholic houses of worship. I like it very much, but the crucifix seems completely lost. What a shame for this wonderful cathedral! A place of peace and closeness to God is celebrated.

The photo by Franz-Josef Kemper shows Tübingen from the Neckar side and not the cathedral in Rottenburg. Please correct.

The small three-aisled basilica offers a beautiful sight on the market square of Rottenburg. Entering the interior, one is struck by the relative sobriety - quite at odds with the medieval/baroque exterior and most Catholic churches. A rather modest episcopal seat (in a positive sense)...

Church of St Donatus

The Church of St Donatus name refers to Donatus of Zadar, who began construction on this church in the 9th century and ended it on the northeastern part of the Roman forum. It is the largest Pre-Romanesque building in Croatia.

The beginning of the building of the church was placed to the second half of the 8th century, and it is supposed to have been completed in the 9th century. The Zadar bishop and diplomat Donat (8th and 9th centuries) is credited with the building of the church. He led the representations of the Dalmatian cities to Constantinople and Charles the Great, which is why this church bears slight resemblance to Charlemagne's court chapels, especially the one in Aachen, and also to the Basilica of San Vitale in Ravenna. It belongs to the Pre-Romanesque architectural period.

The circular church, formerly domed, is 27 m high and is characterised by simplicity and technical primitivism.
