Rothenburg ob der Tauber is a small town in Bavaria, Germany, which still has a lot of houses dating back to the Medieval times that survived the bombing during WWII. The steep red roof tiles and the square windows are the two most striking features of these Bavarian architecture. The best place to view the town is of course from the bell tower, where you can get a good overview of the whole town and beyond. It was lucky that back then the town mayor stroked a deal with the allied forces and surrender for them to stop the bombing. Otherwise we would not be able enjoy this good view today.
