Regensburg.....Part II

Others of us take the ubiquitous walking tour of this 2,000 year old city.  Unique to German cities, this one was not touched in WWII, thus giving us truly old, old buildings to see.  There are 1300 historic buildings and the entire Old Town is a UNESCO World heritage Site.

The Romans first established Castrum Regina in the 2nd Century and abandoned it about 400.  In 739, English missionary, St. Boniface established a bishopric.  By 1663-1806, the city became the center of German parliament.

No surprise, there is a cathedral-- St. Peter's. Construction

spanned six centuries from 1250-1869.

We didn't see this at night, but thanks to Google,

we can imagine a nighttime view.

The old stone bridge ( 1135-46 ), Bridge tower, Cathedral.

Today, the bridge is under reconstruction, so no decent photo

except from Internet.

The Old Chapel is one of the oldest churches 

In Bavaria.  Legend says it was originally a 

Roman temple.  In 1747, it was transformed

into the Bavarian rococo style with splendid frescoes.
