Munich.

- Abstract
It is hard to believe, looking down on Munich from the top of St Peter's, the city's oldest parish church, that the city spread-eagled below lay in ruins in 1945 at the end of the Second World War. Having clambered up the 297 steps to the top of the church tower, one is struck just as much by the historic landmarks — be it the Frauenkirche (Church of Our Lady) or the neo-gothic splendour of the Neues Rathaus (New Town Hall) — as by the Mediterranean-style terracotta tiles and the closeness of the Alps to the south.
