REGENSBURG
Regensburg was formerly an important garrison guarding the most north-westerly point of the Roman Empire whose camp gate, the Porta Praetoria, can still be seen. Regensburg was spared war damage and today its historic centre is a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
The town contains wealthy merchants’ houses and an old Town Hall (Altes Rathaus )– the seat of the Diet, or parliament, of the Holy Roman Empire from 1663 to 1806, an iconic stone bridge and a Gothic cathedral.
