Four Stars for the importance of Dom zu Worms in world History. Located at the highest point in the…read moreinner city of Worms, this Romanesque began construction in 1125 and was completed in 1181. It was the site of the nomination of Leo IX as pope in 1048, the marriage of Emperor Frederick II to Isabella of England in 1235 but probably most importantly the site of the Diet of Worms where Martin Luther was declared a heretic to the Catholic church by Charles V in 1521.
The Dom zu Worms is free to enter as is the adjacent garden. While in the garden look for a replica of Martin Luther's shoes. The octagonal aspe is highly decorated with rosette stained glass windows. Martin Luther is depicted in one of the glass window frames. There are sarcophagi containing the bodies of nine ancestors of Emperor Conrad the II, as well as, additional grave monuments, grave stones and plates.
About two hundred feet from Dom zu Worms is where the Martin Luther Monument can be seen. The park is also free.
