Fortress sights in Erfurt

  1. A

    Zitadelle Petersberg

    One reason why Erfurt today has so many towers without churches attached, is that parts were demolished to erect the Zitadelle Petersberg, situated on a natural hill north of the Dom complex. The fortress has a fascinating series of subterranean tunnels within the walls, which can be viewed on a guided tour from the tourist office. The nearby Romanesque Peterskirche can be visited separately without a tour.
