Places to see in ( Bolzano - Italy ) Piazza Walther
Places to see in ( Bolzano - Italy ) Piazza Walther
Walther square is in the centre of the old town of Bolzano. Here take place the Christmas Market and the Flower Market. Alone in December each year Walther square attracts almost a million visitors to Bolzano's Christmas market which takes place in the square, while hundreds of thousand of tourists sit at pavement cafes throughout the year to soak up the winter sun or enjoy the shade during Bolzano's hot, dry summers.
In the middle of the square is the statue of Walther von der Vogelweide (ca. 1168 - ca. 1228). Near Walther square are the Cathedral, the train station, various banks and shops and the arcades. Walther square was build in the year 1808 on a vineyard which was owned by the Bavarian royal family. King Maximilian sold it to Bolzano's town council for 3,000 florins on condition that it was made into a square.
Initially it was a large area of packed earth, around which buildings grew up, above all hotels alongside Hotel Greif (Grifone), the successor to the inn Zum Schwarzen Greif which dated back to the 16th century. They were built to cater for the elite tourists which flocked to the town, especially from the court of Vienna. By then the town was already becoming popular as a tourist destination due to its beauty, mild climate and its centre which had preserved its medieval character almost intact.
The square's most distinctive feature is the monument erected in 1889 in memory of the great poet and bard Walther von der Vogelweide. It was removed during the fascist era (1935), then returned after the Second World War. The square's name also changed several times: from Maximilian-Platz in honour of the King of Bavaria, then Johanns-Platz, then Walther-Platz, followed by King Vittorio Emanuele, Madonna and finally once again Walther von der Vogelweide.
Various armies paraded in the square: Bavarians during the Napoleonic Wars, Austro-Hungarians, Italians, Germans and the present-day army of the Italian Republic. It has been the venue for appearances by Emperor Franz Joseph, then his successor Karl I and his consort Zita, King Vittorio Emanuele III and Mussolini.

BERGEN NORWAY
Bergen ou Berga1 é o nome da segunda maior cidade da Noruega, com uma população de aproximadamente 1 milhão de habitantes. A cidade está cercada por sete montanhas, o que lhe confere uma bela paisagem, mas também o título de cidade mais chuvosa da Europa.
Bergen é um centro de cultura, comércio e universitário na costa oeste da Noruega. O compositor Edvard Grieg nasceu e viveu na cidade e lá compôs várias de suas mundialmente famosas peças.
É uma cidade muito popular quer para turistas norugueses, quer para turistas estrangeiros, sendo um do principais pontos de paragens dos cruzeiros dos mares do norte da Europa. É o ponto de partida do barco Hurtigruten, que viaja pelas costas norueguesas até ao Kirkenes, sendo estação final da linha ferroviária de Bergen (Bergensbanen), que a liga a Oslo, por paisagens de grande beleza natural.
Bergen teve a sua própria universidade em 1946. Esta tem hoje cerca de 17 000 estudantes.
A montanha amarela é maior das sete montanhas que rodeiam a cidade, com 987 metros de altura.
Foi fundada em 1070, por Olav Kyrre, tendo sido a capital da Noruega até 1299, quando Oslo passou a ser a capital. Ainda assim, continuou a ser a maior cidade da Noruega até à década de 1830. Entre 1350 e 1750 pertenceu à Liga Hanseática.
A parte antiga da cidade ligada à baía, chamada Bryggen, circundada por casas datando do tempo da Liga Hanseática, passou a integrar a lista do património da humanidade da Unesco, em 1979.
