In Bavaria’s Upper Franconia, the city of Bamberg is described as “a central European town with a medieval plan and with a number of surviving secular and ecclesiastical buildings from the medieval and baroque periods.” For its architectural, cultural, and historical character, UNESCO inscribed the city’s Old Town as World Heritage Site in 1993.
This is my 2nd time in Bamberg, after my 1st visit 14 years ago on this very same month.
From Geyerswörthbrücke: Old Town Hall, perched on top of the Regnitz.
World Heritage Centre: modest visitor centre with displays about the city’s heritage landmarks and the road to inscription.
Bamberger Dom (Bamberg Cathedral).
Bamberger Reiter (Bamberg Rider).
Dionysius, and beheaded.
Neuer Residenz (New Residence).
Rose garden inside New Residence; the 2 steeples from St. Michael’s appear at left.
“Gruß aus Bayern” (Greetings from Bavaria).
Michelsberg, Kloster Michelsberg.
View from Michelsberg towards the New Residence and the Cathedral.
Outdoors terrace café at Michelsberg, with a cold Rauchbier (smoked beer) on tap.
Back to the “beginning”: the old town hall, with late-afternoon illumination on the west side.
This west side of Old Town Hall is lit up in the afternoon.
Stadtwappen (city’s coat of arms), between clockface and balcony.
Maximiliansplatz.
