| abstract | - Nuremberg, with its 500,000 inhabitants, is the second largest city in Bavaria and the main centre of Franken, a region of splendid parks and hills covered with vineyards. Although the old part of the city was almost completely destroyed during the Second World War, Nuremberg managed to maintain the character of the city, during its reconstruction. Nuremberg combines the liveliness of a modern city with the fascination of an old medieval town. In the old city, beautiful Gothic churches, rows of old wooden houses and tranquil cobbled square, create a unique atmosphere, seen every year by thousands of tourists. Nuremberg sadly became famous during the Nazi period, due to the enormous mass rallies held here and for having given its name to the antisemite laws, passed by the Third Reich, for whom the city became a sort of symbolic capital. After the end of the war the city was chosen as the sight to hold the trials ( referred to as The Nuremberg Trials) against the Nazi war criminals. The city, following the war, was rebuilt with the Altstadt ( Old Town) being constructed almost entirely using the original stones and bricks, in such a way as to faithfully reproduce the original aspect of the city. The artistic treasures, housed in the churches, were taken and conserved in hiding places by the nazis and therefore escaped damage from the bombardments and are today in perfect condition. The main sights of interest are almost all located within the Altstadt, the old part of the city, enclosed within the reconstructed city wall and surrounded by a dry moat. Altstadt, with the waters of the river Pegnitz flowing through it, has a relaxing and pleasant atmosphere. The majority of the centre is pedestrianized, thus maintaining the chaos of the city outside the fortification. The image of the centre is not all medieval, there are also large areas of modern architecture, which blends in, creating a harmonious mix of old and new. A visit of the city can begin at Kaiserburg, which is reached following a steep climb up the Burgstrasse. Theatre of many Imperial assemblies, during the period from the 11th to the 16th century, this castle was considered the 'coffers' of the German empire and, in spite of numerous modifications and damage caused during the wars, it still stands as an interesting silhouette against the Nuremberg skyline.
