    Essen Cathedral

    Essen's medieval cathedral (Dom) is an island of quiet engulfed by the commercialism of pedestrianised Kettwiger Strasse, the main shopping strip. It has a magnificent collection of Ottonian works, all about 1000 years old. Most prized is the Golden Madonna, set in its own midnight-blue chapel that matches the colour of her eyes.
