The Fleischbrücke is the only bridge that remained standing despite the bombing of the city during World War II.

Nuremberg Castle is the city's hallmark. From every angle, you can appreciate this marvelous medieval complex, which showcases the power of the Holy Roman Empire and which National Socialism adopted as the Secret Capital of the Third Reich. Here we will also discuss the importance of the Nuremberg Trials as a way to overcome the madness of war through justice and reason.
