Amberg is a small city in Bavaria and is near where i worked, so i went there often to visit friends. the population is about 40-45,000, but it feels bigger, in part because the city center is ringed by old wall sections, and buildings that have replaced sections of wall.
the wall
Rathaus
some outside of the wall
