Koblenz

Koblenz is the oldest German city, which is based on the place where the Moselle and Rhine rivers merge. It is located on the Rhineland-Palatinate in western Germany. These lands were known in the time of Julius Caesar, in the 50s BC, the Romans built a bridge over the Rhine here. Koblenz and its vicinities are full of attractive tourist destinations. Among them — the Erenbreitstein Fortress of the 16th century, the Basilica of St. Castor, which has not changed its appearance since the 12th century, the Romanesque Church of Our Lady with a Gothic choir and baroque towers. The remains of the 49th-year Roman bridge have survived to this day. On the German Corner rises a beautiful equestrian statue of Kaiser Wilhelm I on a horse, erected in 1897. The real treasure of Koblenz is the Stolzenfels Castle, built in the 13th century and has been protected by UNESCO since 2002.
