The city of Zürich is often called lovingly “Züri” by the local residents. In the region of Zürich, there are almost 1,3 Million inhabitants, making it the largest agglomeration in Switzerland. A city with a long history, it was founded by the Romans as a military outpost called Turicum.
Capturing a city in photographs is capturing its essence within a restricted space. Würzburg offers a lot to see and discover, especially for those who enjoy places rich in culture and history. Being in a historic city in Europe, though, sometimes you have to look closer to see all the quirks and details.
The city of Würzburg is situated in the heart of Germany at the river Main. It is blessed with many historic monuments, such as the Baroque Residence or the medieval Old Main Bridge. Situated at the river upon a hill, we find the Marienburg castle with a magnificent view over the old town. In the background, we can spot vineyards as far as the eye can see, due to the region being an important agricultural center for wine.
The Cathedral of St.-Kilian in the city of Würzburg is dedicated to the holy figure of St. Kilian. The church is 105 meters long, and it is the fourth most prominent Roman Catholic clerical building in Germany.
There are only two countries without a capital, Switzerland being one of them. Unofficially, though, the city of Bern, situated in the heart of the Alpine country, is considered the nation’s political center. Located on a peninsula that is engulfed by the Aare River, the old town of Bern is vast and beautiful. Particularly striking are the characteristic rooftops and pergolas.
Together with Cres Krk is the largest island in the Adria sea. Rich in history and beautiful architecture Krk is always worth a visit. Some perspectives.
