Domplatz by iandsmith
One of the focal points of historical Bamberg is the Domplatz. It is an inspiring group fo buildings in a prominent location, one of the more impressive town squares you will visit. It has the unusual distinction of sloping at an awkward angle and is surrounded by a series of grandiose historical buildings.From the main commercial part of Bamberg you have to ascend some stairs (pic 5).If you start at the 13th century Kaiserdom itself (pic 4), then going clockwise from there is the Alte Residenz, next to that is the Reiche Tor, and behind that is the Alte Hofhaltung, the old 15th century episcopal palace. Across the road from that is the Neue Residenz, the enormous 18th century L-shaped Baroque palace, and behind that are some picturesque views of the city center across the north east (pic 3). I just loved the curvature of some of the tiled roofs.
