Second card, which I have received is from Speyer - a city of Rhineland-Palatinate on Germany .
City this is located near The Speyer Cathedral was built by the emperors and designated as their last resting place as a symbol of their power. Construction began around 1030 under the Salic Emperor Conrad II and it was consecrated in 1061. Under Heinrich IV renovations and extensions were undertaken. The cathedral of Speyer is the first known structure to be built with a gallery which goes around the whole building. The system of arcatures added during these renovations was also a first in architectural history.
The Speyer Cathedral was added, in 1981, to the UNESCO World Heritage list of culturally important sites.
