Review:
Dresden, the capital of East Germany, was initially completed in 1743 but rebuilt again after it was destroyed during the World War. The Dresden Cathedral and Semperoper Opera House can be found within the vicinity of Dresden Castle and are part of a museum complex which houses Neues Grunes Gewolbe - a place for visitors to explore the amazing artwork and jewelry of the 1500s.
Other places of interest in Dresden include the Albertinum Museum which displays fine art from the 19th and 20th century, Pillnitz Castle which was once the royal residence, and the Gemäldegalerie Alte Meister which houses major Renaissance works such as Raphael’s Sistine Madonna, Vermeer’s The Procuress, and Giorgione’s Sleeping Venus.
