Excavations show that, where Roman housing still stood in the fifth century AD, the first large church-like structure with crypt and central nave arose between the fifth and eighth centuries. A new Carolingian building followed, whose dome collapsed in 994. Over time, Augsburg cathedral took its unmistakable form: to the west, the old Ottonian building with unplastered masonry and the two towers; in the east, immediately adjacent, the towering, white-plastered Gothic choir with significant portals in the south and north adorned with statues. In the year 2000, the Diocesan Museum – home to important works of art – was opened. Tip: the public cathedral tours!
