Bamberg Horseman: a stone icon full of mysteries

The Bamberg Horseman is one of the most famous sculptures of the Middle Ages. Its identity remains a subject of research to this day, which endows the figure with a special tension. In the cathedral tour, this equestrian statue comes to the forefront and opens an impressive access to the medieval world of symbols, to the representation of power, and to the spiritual dimension of the cathedral.

The imperial tomb: fine imagery in stone
