This was the first time I heard of Dresden. Dresden, Germany the former capital of Saxony is also known as "Florence of the Elbe" Badly damaged by the allied bombing in February 1945, the city has since been restored to its baroque beauty.
Zwinger Palace
The Zwinger, with its large inner courtyard, was used for court festivities, tournaments and fireworks. The complex was built between 1710 and 1732 after a design by Matthäus Daniel Pöppelmann in collaboration with sculptor Balthasar Permoser. The Zwinger includes six pavilions connected by large galleries.
The most impressive pavilions are the Rampart Pavillon (wall pavilion) and the Glockenspiel Pavillon (carillon pavilion).
