Description
Bamberg, Germany, is in Upper Franconia (northern Bavaria) on the Regnitz River and the Main-Danube channel. Known as Franconian Rome, Bamberg is built on seven hills, each hill has a church or a castle. Bamberg is a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Bamberg Cathedral is on one of the town's seven hills and can be seen from a long distance. It is an outstanding monument of late Romanesque and early Gothic architecture.
The first cathedral was completed in 1012, partially burned in 1081, and was rebuilt. The new cathedral was consecrated in 1111, and in the 13th century it received its present late-Romanesque form. The cathedral and adjacent buildings have four different architectural styles: Romanesque, Gothic, Renaissance, and Baroque.
