Dresden is the lovely capital city of the eastern German state of Saxony, located along the banks of the picturesque River Elbe. Though much of the historic city was destroyed during a 1945 bombing raid in World War II, many of its historic landmarks have been completely reconstructed, including the famed Baroque-style Frauenkirche church, known for its spectacular grand dome. Gorgeous art masterpieces are on display at the Zwinger Palace, including Raphael's acclaimed "Sistine Madonna." Visitors can also view the stunning Canaletto's View vantage point, which was featured in the painter's famed 1748 masterpiece and showcases one of the city's most gorgeous vistas.
