Nürnberg Wall



Nuremberg's old town in Bavaria, Germany is surrounded by thick walls. Built between 12th and 16th centuries they run for 5 kilometers (about 4 kilometers still standing) around the old town. We were able to go up the fortress during our last visit. These were taken on our way to Fürth, the walled city reminds me of home too; Intramuros in Manila is also a walled city.
