Architectural highlights include the Old Town Hall, the beautiful white and gold Old Chapel, and the Porta Pretoria, gates to an acient Roman fort built in 179 A.D The city is the capital of Upper palatinate , a bustling university town and one of Bavaria’s cultural centers.
The Stone Bridge over the River Donau (Danube). In the old downtown there are two side-by-side cathedrals built at different times. It is easy to see which is older, the one with the round windows. Larger arched windows are relatively new construction
Built in the 1300s to replace earlier cathedrals, Regensburg Cathedral (Dom St. Peter) is the finest Gothic building in Bavaria. Its harmonious exterior, alive with interesting medieval sculptures, has recently been fully cleaned. Inside are even more sculptures along with an extensive collection of medieval stained glass.
