Nuremberg

Nuremberg was amazing. The city still has its medieval center with the old churches, parts of the old city wall and a castle at the top.  While in the old part of the city we visited three different churches. Each one was  grand it its own way. They were all built around the 1500s. After seeing the churches we walked up the hill to see the old castle and had a great view of most of the city.







After see the old part of the city we headed over to the Nazi Rally grounds. The only part still there  today is the main building what was designed to look like a Roman Colosseum and the grand stands on the Zeplian field. The rest of the grounds were either never finished, never built or have been torn down since the end of WWII. Albert Spear designed the rally grounds and was also the head architect for Hitler. We were able to go to the stands on the main field and see where Hitler once  stood and gave his speeches.  Once we were done there we headed off to Munich.
