Bamberg is sometimes called the Rome of Franconia because the city grew on and around seven hills as Rome did. The city's prized attraction is the Bamberg Cathedral, a vast medieval cathedral part of the Town of Bamberg UNESCO Heritage Site. The Romanesque cathedral was built in the 13th century, and it houses the tombs of Emperor Henry II and Pope Clement II. The Old Town area around the cathedral is well-preserved and offers the most quaint surroundings of half-timbered houses, cobblestone streets, and historical monuments.
