St. Ulrich und Afra

Church in Augsburg, Germany, dating from 1467

The Basilica of Saints Ulrich and Afra (German: Basilika SS. Ulrich and Afra) is a Catholic parish in Augsburg in Bavaria, which originated from the Roman tomb of Saint Afra, who was martyred in 304. The building is a great example of Gothic architecture in Germany; in its interior it conserves three enormous and very precious altars of Renaissance, each of which is considered a masterpiece of the German sculpture of the period. 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. In 1
