Bern Cathedral's Portal

Still on last December 28th a short visit to Bern and visiting the wonderful and well-preserved Cathedral’s Portal.

Bern Cathedral is Switzerland's largest ecclesiastical building. Construction started in 1421 and for generations thereafter works on this masterpiece continued under a series of different builders. It took until 1893 for the spire to be completed. The portal with its depiction of the Last Judgment is an outstanding feature. The vantage point of this masterpiece is located 344 steps above the entrance in the 100-meter-high cathedral spire.
