Founded in AD 15 by the Romans, Augsburg lies northwest of Munich and was once the financial center of Europe. It was also the home of the Fuggers, a famous medieval aristocratic family and great patrons of the arts. Here, in 1555, German religious conflict during the Reformation ended following the signing of a Peace Treaty. It also boasts the Fuggerei – the oldest ‘council’ housing in the world, dating back to 1519. Other attractions include the Cathedral (807 Romanesque/1320 Gothic) with 12th-century stained-glass windows and 11th-century bronze door; St Anna’s Church (16th-century Luther memorial); Town Hall (1615); Perlach Tower; Baroque fountains (16th to 17th centuries); City Gates (14th to 16th centuries); Schaezler Palace and Rococo banquet hall (18th century) with German Baroque gallery and an Old German gallery with paintings by Holbein and Dürer; Maximilian Museum; Roman Museum; and Mozart’s House.
