A distinctive landmark in Munich, the Theatine Church is a model of Italian-inspired Baroque architecture. The distinctive dome was not completed until 1690 and stands at 71 meters in height.
The Theatine Church was modelled on the Sant'Andrea della Valle church in Rome and is now home to the tombs of King Maximilian II and his consort Queen Marie and a whole assortment of members of the Wittelsbach family.
