Within the medieval walls of Nuremberg, Old Town is a place frozen in time. Its rustic half-timbered houses, ornate Gothic churches and cobblestone lanes form a fairy-tale scene. Looming above all is the Imperial Castle, which hosted the coronation of Holy Roman Emperors and the exaltation and entombment of saints. Completed in 1000 AD, it was a formidable fortification and provided a central seat of power for German kings. Nuremberg became the unofficial capital of the empire for 600 years, hosting courts and the Diet, periodic assemblies that shaped policy and strategy.
