Question

Where can you find a cathedral said to contain the devil’s footprint?

Answer 1

Answer: Munich, Germany

Step-by-step explanation:

ACCORDING TO A 1468 LEGEND, an architect Jorg von Halspach who built the cathedral went looking for money to build a new cathedral in Munich and ended up making a bargain with the Devil. The Devil provided the money for the huge building on one condition that it be a celebration of darkness, with no windows to let in light.

When the cathedral was complete, the architect led the Devil inside to check his finished work, and to show him that he had held up his end of the bargain. There seems to be no windows and the devil was satisfied but he later found out that the columns were blocking the opened windows. In his fury for been deceived he stamped his foot, forever marking the floor with his black footprint.

Answer 2
