At the centre of the old town is the [[Marienplatz]] with the [[Old Town Hall, Munich|Old Town Hall]] and the [[New Town Hall, Munich|New Town Hall]]. Its tower contains the [[Rathaus-Glockenspiel]]. The [[St. Peter's Church, Munich|Peterskirche]] is the oldest church of the inner city. Nearby St. Peter, the Gothic hall-church [[Heiliggeistkirche (Munich)|Heiliggeistkirche]] was converted to baroque style from 1724 onwards and looks down upon the [[Viktualienmarkt]]. Three gates of the demolished medieval fortification survive; these are the [[Isartor]], the [[Sendlinger Tor]], and the [[Karlstor]]. The Karlstor leads up to the [[Karlsplatz (Stachus)|Stachus]], a square dominated by the [[Justizpalast (Munich)|Justizpalast]] (Palace of Justice).

The [[Munich Frauenkirche|Frauenkirche]] serves as the cathedral for the [[Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Munich and Freising|Catholic Archdiocese of Munich and Freising]]. The nearby [[St. Michael's Church, Munich|Michaelskirche]] is the largest [[renaissance]] church north of the Alps, while the [[Theatine Church, Munich|Theatinerkirche]] is a [[basilica]] in Italianate high baroque, which had a major influence on southern German [[baroque]] architecture. Its dome dominates the [[Odeonsplatz]].
