I love the history of this church. Emperor Maximilian I liked Innsbruck so much he wanted to be buried here... surrounded by 40 larger than life cast-bronze statues of his ancestors, relatives and even his favorite heroes from the Middle Ages like King Arthur. This elaborate display was built inside this church but poor Max isn’t buried there. By the time he died, he had become notorious for running up debts so the town did not allow him to be buried inside the church. So his elaborate sarcophagus is now called a cenotaph since it does not contain a body! Weird!!

This is a romantic catholic cathedral in Innsbruck, Austria built to saint James. The interior of the cathedral is so beautifully designed and is a must visit place for admirers

Wilten Basilica was a stunning Rococo church which displays "Our Lady under the Four Columns" on its main altar. Beneath a marble canopy and large golden crown was the Gothic sandstone sculpture of the Madonna - the focus of religious pilgrimages. With its incredible acoustics, the basilica is home to the famous Wilten Boys' Choir. The artwork and ceiling paintings which detail the life of the Virgin Mary were breathtaking. A stroll through the large cemetery adjacent to Wilten Basilica was also interesting.
