Guided Story
Imagine standing before one of the oldest surviving towers in Mainz. Look up and admire those sturdy walls. They've seen battles, fires, and the passage of time. Can you imagine that these stones were once part of a medieval city palace? Just behind you, a short walk away, is Augustinerstraße, lined with charming half-timbered houses. Turn north, and you'll spot the St. Anselm Chapel. This area is especially enchanting at dusk when the old town's lights bathe the weathered facades in a warm glow. Take a moment to feel the past as it blends seamlessly with the present.
