Very beautiful church

Impotent cathedral surrounded by a quiet delightful town. Inside there is an organ that envelops you with its incredible sound.

Impressive cathedral for such a small town! With the bikes on tour, the large cathedral dominates the landscape from afar! Small coffees and restaurants around the cathedral, also very nice in the area! The cathedral is very beautiful from the inside, especially the windows, which were most likely not destroyed by the war, so true to detail and beautiful, especially in the sunlight, were lucky impressive! Taking a break outside in the shade kestrels also inhabit the top of the tower and circled around! Greetings from Moers

As is so often the case: as impressive as it is from the outside, it is so simple on the inside. The cherry windows are beautiful.

The Propsteikirche St. Ludgerus, also called Ludgerus-Dom, is a Catholic pilgrimage church in the town of Billerbeck in the Diocese of Münster and one of the two churches of the provost St. Johannes and St. Ludgerus parish and community. It is a neo-gothic floor plan with a transept. It's a wonderful cathedral.?

Manarola

Manarola is a small town, a frazione of the comune of Riomaggiore. It is the second-smallest of the famous Cinque Terre towns frequented by tourists, with a population of 353.

Manarola may be the oldest of the towns in the Cinque Terre, with the cornerstone of the church, San Lorenzo, dating from 1338. The local dialect is Manarolese, which is marginally different from the dialects in the nearby area. The name 'Manarola' is probably a dialectical evolution of the Latin, 'magna rota'. In the Manarolese dialect this was changed to 'magna roea' which means 'large wheel', in reference to the mill wheel in the town.

Manarola's primary industries have traditionally been fishing and wine-making. The local wine, called Sciacchetrà, is especially renowned; references from Roman writings mention the high quality of the wine produced in the region.
