The town settled around the Castellum Virteburch in the 5th century. On 9th June 1156 Frederick I Barbarossa married Beatrice of Burgundy in Wurzburg. The town was destroyed during the 30 Years War. Under the reign of the bishops-princes Schonborn (1642-1746) the town reached the maximum shine and became one of the best Baroque towns in Germany. During the Second World War the bombardments (16 march 1945) destroyed the 90% of the town turning it into a hill of rubble. But as a phoenix the city is risen and in 1970 it was completely reconstructed.
The masterpiece of Wurzburg is the wonderful Residenz where you can see two importants frescos made by G.B.Tiepolo, works made by Bossi, and the rooms reconstructed after the devastation of the war.
But in the town you must see also the Marienbur, the Alte Mainbrucke, the Dom, the Stift Haug and much more.
Enjoy your visit!!!

We are going to Dresden, BAmberg, BAyrueth for one month in September, and then next year to this area. Your tips are very helpful, and the pictures always fanastico.
Cristian, What wonderful pages and photo's! Have really enjoyed reading and looking at photo's of the Residenz, statues, frescoes, the Marienkapelle, so much beauty, really this town is a must visit in my books!
Excellent page and great photos. Sono sbalordita per il romanico adesso! Hope to try those restaurants too. Thanks Cristian!
The residenz is definitly attracting, but what i found definitly unique and special is the Dom St.Kilian.
The Marienberg Castle looks likie the Wawel Castle in Poland .... very nice buildings and architecture here with the interior of the Dom St.Kilian being so impressive...Norman :)
Thank you for a wonderful page, Cristian. I thought that photography was not allowed in the Residenz. How did you do it? Or is it now allowed? Regards, Kate
Lovely page, the residenz reminds of Schonbrunn ;-)
Fine photos on your travelogues and tips, and interesting information on art history! I learned a lot from reading this page, even though I have been to Würzburg a few times myself.
Nice page about Wurzburg! It is near to my birth-city Nurnberg!
Cristian, fabulous page with interesting info and brilliant photos. I only know Würzburg from the motorway, but have never really made it there.
