Würzburg suffered extensive damage during a devastating firebombing raid on March 16, 1945, which destroyed about 90% of the city. However, much of the historic architecture has been meticulously reconstructed.

We spent the afternoon exploring Wurzburg’s main square and the area around the old Main Bridge which dates back to the 1400s, and is adorned with 12 statues of saints. The bridge offers stunning views of the Marienberg Fortress which sits high up on the hill overlooking the city. We also visited 3 churches including St. Mary’s Chapel, New Munster and St. Killian’s Cathedral which was my favorite. It was a very hot day so we did not get to see as much as we would have liked.
