Residence Würzburg

When you visit the ‘Würzburg Residency’ of the old prince-bishops, make sure you’ve trained your attention to details. You’ll see the incredible work of

Giovanni Tiepolo on the largest free holding fresco (supported only by the walls) in the world, that is so beautifully wrong in its depiction of the Asian con-

tinent – not to mention the stucco work of Antonio Bossi with its seamless transition into Tiepolo’s. The residence is a masterpiece that took the better

part of the 18th century to build and shouldn’t be missed when you come to town. And since you’re al- ready here, don’t even think about skipping the

beautiful garden in the back. Loosen your mind on a walk through the flowers and archways while marveling at the fountains depicting Greek mythology.

Best times to visit the garden: spring (those beautiful cherry blossoms!) and autumn.
