#WalledCity

[wonderjourneys]

Nördlingen is a town in along the gorgeous Romantic Road in Bavaria, Germany. It was built in an impact crater of a meteorite. And it is said that many of the buildings have been made from that meteorite.

The material is full of minute gemstones, diamonds. This means that the old town is like no other on earth, as it is made almost entirely with gem-laden stones.

Local geologists estimated that the town walls and buildings contain approximately 72,000 tons of diamonds.

There are settlements found in the area of Nördlingen of the 7th millennium BC. And the city itself was part of the Roman Empire, but not much of that era is left.

It was during the Middle Ages that Nördlingen took the shape of what we see today. There are only three towns in Germany that still have the a completely intact city wall. Nördlingen is one of them. The other two are Rothenburg and Dinkelsbühl, all in Bavaria, all on the Romantic Road.

You can walk the entire wall which is about 2.6 km. You’ll walk takes you past several historical towers and the five gates to the town. The views on the many red rooftops and white plastered houses is stunning.

The city is mentioned as inspiration for the anime Attack on Titan.

Minceta Tower: imposing deterrent

Minceta Tower was first built in 1319, at a time of increasing corsair activity as well as warfare between nearby Genoa and Venice, both of whom sometimes allied with, and sometimes cast a jealous eye on, the great Adriatic trading city of Dubrovnik. It was massively re-fortified 145 years later after the fall of Constantinople and the loss of much of the Balkans to the Ottomans. This massive tower protecting the northwest corner of the Dubrovnik walls is the highest point of the city fortifications, and an imposing deterrent to any land attack. The curved base of Minceta Tower was used as the exterior of "House of Undying" in the city of "Qarth" in Game of Thrones.
