Your images are not visible (i.e., just boxes with a X). I like the topic, however.

I will post a city of which I have spoken previously, on this forum.
Ravensburg a city in Oberschwaben, a region in the south-east of the Federal German state of Baden-Württemberg. It is great examples of the beauty of Swabia and Germany.

Ravensburg,the medieval city of gates and towers:
It was spared from the bombings of WWII, because it contain no large industry as targets. So much of the city is very old and extreamly similar to how it appeared decades and centuries ago.
