The beautiful St. Martin's Church sits at the heart of the old city of Amberg, which can be found right in the Marktplatz. The steeple is visible from many different points around the old city.
The Gothic Town Hall, or the Rathaus also sits in the heart of the old city. Unfortunately, there was some sort of promotional bus sitting right in front of it, so I was unable to get a picture of the beautiful arches on the right side of the building.
I am not sure what this building may have been previously, but it is a store now. I love the architecture of it, and the details on the building are just stunning.There are several other buildings I would loved to have gotten pictures of.
This statue is said to have been erected to celebrate the 1474 wedding between Prince Philip and Margaret of Bavaria. It is called The Wedding Fountain or Hochzeitsbrunnen. It sits near the Rathaus.
Again, I am a fan of old things, and this covered bridge looks like it has seen a lot! There was another covered bridge as we were walking into the old town, but I was unable to get a good picture of it.
The Ziegeltor. It is one of the original gates. It currently houses a tiny, single-lane road. It provides access into the old city.
I adore Amberg. It is such a fun place to walk around and explore. We definitely plan to go back. There were a few sights in the old city we missed out on seeing this last time we went. I know there are also many wonderful things to visit in the newer part of the city as well.
