Yesterday we were in Nuremberg. Nuremberg held great significance during the Nazi Germany era. Because of the city's relevance to the Holy Roman Empire and its position in the center of Germany, the Nazi Party chose the city to be the site of huge Nazi Party conventions – the Nuremberg rallies.
Today, it has the largest remaining collection of Nazi architecture, such as Zeppelin Field, Congress Hall, and the Great Road. The Nazi Rally Grounds are a memorial today, yet they are used for large events such as concerts, F1 Racing, and Motorcycle races.
Unfortunately, the place was very commercial and we were a little disappointed in the advertisements everywhere and the Madonna music that was being blasted for the breakdown crew of an auto racing event held the day before...
