explanation: Located on the northern Bavaria, Nuremberg played an important role in the middle ages because the parliament of Holy Roman Empire has its seat there. It was also one of the largest trade centers between Northern Europe and Italy. Though the imperial castle (Kaiserburg) looks over the town, its picturesque medieval city seems lost forever by a bombing of the allied power in 1945. Between 1945 and 1948, a trial to judge Nazi's war criminals (Nuremberg Trials) took place. The population is at a half million.
