Nuremberg Old Town







The old town is hilly and on the top there is a roofed ramparts with watchtowers, most of it rebuilt, presumably, after the heavy air raid of 2nd January 1945.  The steep roofs allow snow to slide off rather than build up, and the little attic windows seem to be a local feature, being mocked in the new building in the bottom picture?
