Saxony’s capital Dresden is also called the "Pearl of Baroque".

     Dresden is an art and culture city with its excellent examples of Renaissance, Baroque and

19th century architecture. Thanks to its astonishing Elbe panorama, Dresden earned another name, “Florence at the Elbe”.

     The city was first mentioned in a document dated 1206. Nowadays, it’s a blend of unique German Baroque and modern European urbanism. During World War II Dresden was practically wiped out within two nights of air bombing.
