About this work
Basilica of SS. Ulrich and Afra, Augsburg, Bavaria, Germany. The catholic parish, one of the best examples of Gothic architecture in Germany, originated from the Roman tomb of St. Afra, who was martyred in 304. Its high bell tower with an "onion" dome, which dominates the city to the south, served as a prototype for the construction of numerous baroque towers of Bavaria. The church was officially elevated to the rank of imperial abbey in 1577 and on the anniversary 200 years later, Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart held an organ concert there.
