Dominikanerkirche



The early baroque facade of the Dominikanerkirche. Built in the Roman-Lombardic style it is based, in regards to its composition, on the basilica churches of Rome; such as Il Gesu or Sant'Ignazio.
The ornamentation however is firmly in expectation of the exuberance of the baroque and incorporates plenty of wonderfully pointless merry cherubs as well as swags and garlands of flowers and fruit.
