Journey through Würzburg [Idioma Inglés] - Hardcover

Traversing the banks of the meandering River Main, this guide explores the German city of Würzburg, girded by the Marienberg and Würzburger Stein vineyards, dominated by an ancient fortress, and punctuated by countless church steeples. Despite the city's terrible devastation during World War II, this travel companion proves how it has managed to salvage and restore numerous artistic and cultural monuments of world renown, such as the Residenz and Festung Marienberg. The juxtaposition of new and old?from Romanesque and Baroque churches to modern architecture and from past traditions to contemporary trends?is demonstrated, showing how it lends Würzburg a particular charm in the present day. Additional features focus on the unique palace of the Residenz, sculptor and councillor Tilman Riemenschneider, the many festivals held each year in the city, and the culinary delights of Würzburg and Franconia.
