Munich - Theatine Church interior

One of the distinctive landmarks of Munich is the Theatine Church - with its yellow exterior. Built in the Italian high-Baroque style and modelled on the Sant'Andrea della Valle church in < Rome the interior is, typically for the Baroque style, ornate in the extreme.

As a fan of the Baroque style, checking out the details on the columns, cornicing, cuppola, statues amongst other architectural elements is an absolute must. The details are amazing - and the workmanship in the design and execution phases are awe-inspiring.
