    It is present on the Danube River in Bavaria, this medieval town has many buildings of exceptional quality that testify to its history as a trading centre and to its influence on the region from the 9th century.
    A important number of historic structures span some two millennia and it has ancient Roman, Romanesque and Gothic buildings. Regensburg’s 11th- to 13th-century architecture – including the market, city hall and cathedral – still defines the character of the town marked by tall buildings, dark and narrow lanes, and strong fortifications.
    The buildings has medieval patrician houses and towers, a large number of churches and monastic ensembles as well as the 12th-century Old Bridge, which dates from.
    The town is also named for the vestiges testifying to its rich history as one of the centers of the Holy Roman Empire that turned to Protestantism.
