Bamberg

Spread on seven hills in the heart of the Franconian cultural landscape lies the baroque Episcopal and imperial city of Bamberg. Its historical centre - listed by UNESCO World Cultural Heritage - unites under the stony eyes of the Bamberger Rider Germany's vastest coherent historical centre with monuments from the 11th to the 18th century. The most impressive amongst those are the mediaeval cathedral with its four steeples and the Old Town Hall with its bridge tower surrounded by Regnitz river, mentioned for the first time in1387.
