Römer (City Hall)
This former patrician villa with its three-gabled roof has served as Frankfurt's city hall since 1405. It continues to be the seat of the city's Lord Mayor to this day.
The beautiful and picturesque old town is a must visit when in Frankfurt! Amazing half-timbered buildings that were once completely destroyed by Allied powers’ bombings during WWII, now rebuilt to their full glory! It's really convenient to visit the places by tram. There's many restaurants to eat and enjoy the place. Main river is very close from the old town. This place is a must-visit if you're touring Frankfurt!

Germany~ The Fountain of Justice in Frankfurt
In the center of the square in Germany stands the Fountain of Justice, facing the Old Town Hall, and on the east side of the square, there is a row of quaint half-timbered houses. There is also the Kaiserdom (Imperial Cathedral), the Romer (Roman Hall), and the Nicolai Kirche (Old Church of St. Nicholas) among others. The Imperial Cathedral was built in 1239 and features a Gothic facade of grandeur. It is not only the spiritual center of Frankfurt but was also the coronation site for German kings. Between 1562 and 1797, a total of 10 emperors were crowned here. The Old Town Hall of Frankfurt is composed of three buildings with beautiful gabled roofs.
