Germany: The Town of Bamberg

The Town of Bamberg is situated on the river Regnitz close to its confluence with the river Main.
The old town of Bamberg is listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site sice 1993, primarily because of its authentic medieval appearance. The town established a documentation centre in 2005 to support World Heritage activities. Some of the main sights are:
the Bamberg Cathedral (1237), with the tombs of Emperor Henry II and Pope Clement II; the Alte Hofhaltung, residence of the bishops in the 16th and 17th centuries; the Neue Residenz, residence of the bishops after the 17th century; Bamberg State Library in the New Residence; the Old Town Hall (1386), built in the middle of the Regnitz river, accessible by two bridges; Klein-Venedig ("Little Venice"), a colony of fishermen's houses from the 19th century along one bank of the river Regnitz; Michaelsberg Abbey, built in the 12th century on one of Bamberg's "Seven Hills" and the Altenburg, castle, former residence of the bishops.
