The white Elephant fresco
The Brixen cathedral cloister is one of the most important art monuments in South Tyrol.
The cloister is famous for its frescoes from the Gothic period. Originally it was built in the pre-Romanesque period, but was later redesigned in the Romanesque and Gothic styles.
The depiction of the elephant (3rd arcade) and the Adoration of the Magi (13th arcade) are particularly worth seeing.
With the adjoining buildings Brixen Cathedral, Johannes chapel and Frauenkirche, the cloister represents the center of the cathedral district.
