Petersplatz, Munich<\/strong><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n


<\/p>\n

Augsburg<\/strong><\/p>\n

It is the oldest city in Bavaria and currently the third largest. It was founded by the Romans in 15 BC during the reign of Emperor Octavian Augustus, to whom the city owes its name. For the city's 1600th anniversary, celebrated in 1594, a fountain was built in Augsburg's central square, crowning it. statue of Augustus<\/strong><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n


<\/p>\n

The same square also houses the City Hall, perhaps the most famous building in the city. It was completely destroyed during the war but was later rebuilt. The City Hall is known primarily for its magnificent Golden Hall<\/strong>, where Augsburg merchants, some of the richest in Europe, held their receptions.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Augsburg's St. Anne's Church is famous for being the site of Martin Luther's stay in 1520, when he came to Augsburg for a theological discussion with the Catholic Cardinal Gaetan. The country was then divided into two camps\u2014Catholics and Protestants\u2014and religious wars erupted. Only ten years later was a law known as the "Augsburg Confession" adopted, requiring citizens to profess the religion of the supreme ruler of their city or region.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

The most beautiful cathedral in Augsburg is probably Basilica of Saints Ulrich and Afra<\/strong>The wide Maximilianstrasse leads to it, at the end of which one can see churches adjacent to each other: a large Catholic basilica and a small Protestant church, St. Ulrich's.<\/p>\n

Munich<\/strong><\/p>\n

Munich has its own charm, as does any large city, I suppose. Personally, I'm particularly drawn to two places: the Viktualienmarkt, a huge food market in the city center, and the Alte Pinakothek with its magnificent art collection.<\/p>\n

On Viktualienmarkt<\/strong> You immediately understand how Bavarians love to drink beer. Like this, in neat, tight rows.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n


<\/p>\n

Or like this - with an accordion and violin<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n


<\/p>\n

Gifts of the forest and folk crafts<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n


<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n


<\/p>\n

"Maypole"<\/strong> The Viktualienmarkt is probably the tallest in Bavaria. Erecting such "trees" during early summer celebrations is an ancient tradition dating back to pagan times.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n


<\/p>\n

Famous Hofbr\u00e4uhaus<\/strong> \u2014 an incredibly large beer hall with a capacity of 4,000 people, visited by Mozart, the Bavarian kings, our own Ilyich, and Nazi leaders. In the morning, it's still practically empty. Only a few regulars refuel here early in the morning.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n


<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n


<\/p>\n

The heart of Munich is Marienplatz Square<\/strong> in front of the city hall<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n


<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n


<\/p>\n

Town Hall courtyard<\/strong>Of course, there is a beer hall here too.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n


<\/p>\n

Isar Gate<\/strong> (14th century) \u2013 one of three surviving gates of the city. They were once part of the fortress wall surrounding Munich.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Munich has a large number of churches with majestic interiors.<\/p>\n

St. Michael's Cathedral<\/strong><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n


<\/p>\n

IN Church of the Holy Spirit<\/strong> We saw a whole forest of columns, artificial trees and an unusual flock of flying paper cranes.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Staircase in Alte Pinakothek<\/strong> It is reminiscent of the imperial architecture of the Third Reich, although it was built in the 19th century.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n


<\/p>\n

But the gaze and soul rest here on the masterpieces of Renaissance painting.<\/p>\n
