The 12th-century church stands on the ruins of the Roman city of Juliobriga, vying for the same piece of land. The apse has three semicircular windows (the central one on columns with carved capitals) and very deteriorated corbels. The doorway is very simple and small with plain archivolts, but above it there is a relocated tympanum with figures of animals and angels. The belfry of three campaigns has an external access staircase that culminates in a small platform with good views.

Beautiful church on the remains of the Roman forum of Juliobriga. Its necropolis and the ovens used to create the bells are preserved

Highly recommended place (reproduction of a Pompeii villa), very competent, friendly and detailed guides. With children it is interesting.

A magnificent place to visit. Very good conservation.

Visby Cathedral

Visby Cathedral (also known as St. Mary’s Church) is the only survived medieval church in Visby. It was originally built for German merchants and inaugurated in 1225. Around the year 1350 the church was enlarged and converted into a basilica. The two-storey magazine was also added then above the nave as a warehouse for merchants.

Following the Reformation, the church was transformed into a parish church for the town of Visby. All other churches were abandoned. Shortly after the Reformation, in 1572, Gotland was made into its own Diocese, and the church designated its cathedral.

There is not much left of the original interior. The font is made of local red marble in the 13th century. The pulpit was made in Lübeck in 1684. There are 400 graves under the church floor.
