Picturesque Corners of Germany: Delve into the History of Dresden

German cities are full of beautiful architecture that will take your breath away. If you want to see the main tourist spots, you can order a free walking tour in Dresden and get around them all in a few hours.

- Zwinger. Palace and park complex of the 18th-19th centuries. Construction began under the Saxon elector Augustus the Strong. On the territory of the Zwinger, there is a picturesque landscape park and several famous museums. The complex was significantly damaged during the bombing of 1945, and most of the palace was restored from ruins.

- Dresden Castle Residence. This is the official residence of the Saxon rulers. According to historical documents, the first fortress appeared on this site at the end of the 13th century. Over time, the building acquired an increasingly solemn appearance following the architectural traditions of successive eras. By the 19th century, the façade was overgrown with baroque elements and acquired its modern appearance. The entrance ticket price is 14 euros.

- Frauenkirche - Church of the Virgin Mary. The 18th-century cathedral in the monumental baroque style was created according to the design of the architect G. Baer. After the destruction of the historic building in 1945, the temple lay in ruins until the unification of Germany in the late 80s XX century. The grand opening of the completely restored church took place in 2005. You can enter the church by purchasing a ticket for 10 euros.

- Hofkirche. It is a Catholic court church in the Cathedral of the Dresden Catholic Diocese. Built in the Baroque style according to the design of G. Chiaveri in the middle of the 18th century, it was initially used as the court church of the ruler Frederick Augustus II family. Inside is a family crypt of the dynasty of the Dukes of Wettin, the rulers of Saxony. The church was completely restored after World War II's destruction in 1962.

- Semper opera. Dresden Opera is home to one of the oldest European orchestras. Under the Saxon rulers, the stage served as a royal opera. The Semper Opera stage hosted the premieres of several works by the famous composer J. Strauss. The last restoration of the building took place in 1985. Recreating the 19th-century building required a long search for its original design.
