The Martin Luther-Kirche church was built in 1833-1877 in Dresden in the center of the small Martin-Luther-Platz square. This is the Evangelical Lutheran Church.

Martin Luther's church seems simply gigantic compared to neighboring buildings. Also, like most Protestant churches of that period, the church is distinguished by a mixture of neo-Gothic and Neo-Romanesque elements. Old stained glass windows depict scenes from the life of Jesus.

Once here, you can climb the tower and enjoy the beautiful and unusual view of Dresden.

Holidays on Lake Maggiore: Attractions and Villas

Lago Maggiore (Italian: Lago Maggiore) is one of the four great Italian lakes. The literal translation of the name of the reservoir sounds like a "big lake". And that is the true truth. Located at the very top of the “boot”, Lago Maggiore washes its waters with Italian and Swiss lands. Sheltered by the mountain range of the Alps from the sharp influence of the outside world, Maggiore is famous for its excellent mild climate, clear waters and breathtaking views.
