The roots of the Basel Minster or Cathedral lie in the 1st century BC. At first they built a monastery, which they later on replaced by a Roman fort. In the early 9th century the construction started of a Romanesque Cathedal. Over time the building expanded. Because of the time lapse part of this Cathedral was built in Gothic style. When they started building it was a Catholic church, but nowadays it’s a reformed Protestant one. In it you can find the grave of the famous humanist Erasmus.
