St Finbarre's Cathedral

posted by qjohns on 10 August 2010 at 14:31

St Finbarre's Cathedral is one of the grandest sights in Cork with three elegant towers. Suprisingly its a Victorian structure as it looks for all the world like a Gothic cathedral. The Interior is very beautiful and the organ is fairly famous I think.

Alte Oper

posted by kclark on 10 August 2010 at 14:14

Like so much of the great old buildings of Frankfurt, you'll have to put up with a modern reconstruction of the Alte Oper. It was largely destroyed during WWII and rebuilt in the '80s. It's still a very attractive building though and has quite a busy concert schedule.

Frankfurt Cathedral

posted by ntillson on 10 August 2010 at 14:08

The spire of the Frankfurt Cathedral is a wonderful sight and a very unusual shape. Much of the Cathedral itself has been reconstructed after it was destroyed during WWII. It is now much more modern and less ornate than it must once have been but it is still worth a visit.

Icon Museum

posted by munk on 10 August 2010 at 14:00

There are quite a few big museums to see in Frankfurt and you might not get around to visiting the little icon museum. If you can squeeze it in, though, its well worth a look. It has displays of icon paintings from across the orthodox world Russia, Greece, Ethiopia etc with some really informative and well choreographed special displays.

The House of Goethe

posted by ralliman on 10 August 2010 at 13:55

Visit the house of Goethe if you're in Frankfurt. Its a really interesting look back in time to the mid 18th century when Goethe lived here (although everything you see is a reconstruction as the original house was destroyed during the war). Its incredible to stand in the place where Germany's foremost literary figure wrote his first novel and started writing Faust. There are some informative displays too.
