This morning we arrived in Wurzburg where we took a bus to
the very extravagant Wurzburg Residnez Palace. For centuries the resident
prince-bishop had enormous power and wealth that was very evident as we toured one
of Germany’s finest baroque Palaces that was built between 1720 -1744.
The grand staircase with its unsupported vaulted ceiling
features the largest ceiling fresco- The Four Continents – in the world,
created in 1752-1753. The other continents had not been discovered at the time.
