The 10 Best Historic Sites in Regensburg, Bavaria
Founded by the Romans in 179 AD as Casta Regina (meaning Fortress by the River Regen), Regensburg is one of Germany's oldest towns. It was relatively spared from Allied bombings during World War II. Today, many flock to see the wonderfully intact old city and its many medieval structures. The 12th-century Stone Bridge was used by Crusaders en route to the Holy Land. The Regensburg Cathedral (or Dom St. Peter) is one of southern Germany's finest examples of Gothic architecture.

Every corner of this historic Roman city seems to present the most casual walkers with another photo opportunity and the Old Town Hall is one of these, a few hundred metres from the remains of the Roman gateway. It is actually three buildings; the tower, the palace and baroque town hall. The museum inside is well worth a visit and, for the gloomy minded the torture chambers in the basement are chilling (indeed quite cold too!)

Our tour guide explained about the square and the area that children like to play. There is some Jewish history here and the history does show that things were not always calm. This current layout is for all to enjoy.
