Speyer. Medieval city centre | Germany #4

Video tour through the medieval town of Speyer. One of Germany's oldest towns. The city is dominated by the Old Town Gate (Altpörtel) and the Romanesque Cathedral with its restored nineteenth-century westwork. After walking down the main street (Maximillianstraße) we enter the Cathedral. A number of German emperors are buried in the crypt, the most famous being Henry IV, who walked the Road to Canossa to ask the Pope for forgiveness after he was excommunicated during the Investiture Controversy (1077). After visiting the Cathedral, we climb the tower to have great views over the old town and the Rhine valley.
