Red roofs and churches abound in the magnificent city of Würzburg.

Würzburg, also known as Pittsburgh in Chinese, is the capital of Franconia in Bavaria and a must-see city on the Romantic Road in Bavaria. The Main River flows through the old town, and on the river is the "Old Bridge" (Fig. 5, Fig. 8) preserved from the 15th century. On the mountain opposite the Old Bridge is the most classic attraction of Würzburg, the "Marienberg Fortress" (Fig. 9), a castle built in the 11th century. Among the many churches, the "Church of Our Lady" (built in 1735) is the most prominent. There are countless churches in the city, which is extremely rare in Germany and is known as the "City of Churches." In the evening, I walked across the Old Bridge and climbed the castle hill along the pedestrian path. From the platform at the top of the hill, I looked out over the city of Würzburg, where the sunset glow reflected the whole city, with churches, red roofs, and vineyards, all in a magnificent view.
