Church of Martin Luther

Martin Luther Church combines elements of the Neo-Romanesque and Neo-Gothic styles. Multi-colored glass stained-glass windows depict scenes from the life of Christ.

The Martin Luther-Kirche church was built in 1833-1877 in Dresden in the center of the small Martin-Luther-Platz square. This is the Evangelical Lutheran Church.

Martin Luther's church seems simply gigantic compared to neighboring buildings. Also, like most Protestant churches of that period, the church is distinguished by a mixture of neo-Gothic and Neo-Romanesque elements. Old stained glass windows depict scenes from the life of Jesus.

Once here, you can climb the tower and enjoy the beautiful and unusual view of Dresden.

Gregoriana Villa in Tivoli

The idea to see Gregorian’s villa appeared 2 months ago during my first visit to Tivoli. Then the goal of our one-day trip was a flea market, which runs here on Wednesdays. Approaching Tivoli, I caught a glimpse of the incredibly beautiful waterfall and decided on occasion to get there. The reason was given a few weeks later when my mother came to visit us.

Villa Adriana in Tivoli

Villa Adriana in Tivoli is one of the most remarkable antique buildings in the Lazio region. The structure dates back to the 2nd century AD. Despite the dilapidated state, it attracts with the scope of the architectural concept and the perfection of its embodiment. The history of the creation of the Roman emperor Hadrian (Publius Aelius Traianus Hadrianus), the famous philosopher of antiquity, was hated by the luxury and hustle and bustle of the palace on Palatine Hill.

Temples of Vesta and Sibyl in Tivoli

The Temple of Vesta (Tempio di Vesta) in Tivoli, from which there is only a rotunda and fragments of walls, is equally attractive to connoisseurs of ancient architecture and lovers of nature and beautiful views. Nearby is the worse-preserved Temple of the Sibyls (Tempio di Sivilla) and the famous Sibilla Restaurant. The history of the creation of the Temple was built in the 1st century BC on the hill of the ancient acropolis of the city of Tibur, as Tivoli was previously called.

Tivoli Flea Market

If you are tired of traditional shopping in Roman outlets or luxury boutiques in Milan and want to plunge into the atmosphere of a small Italian town, then I recommend that you go on a short trip south from Rome to the city of Tivoli. The Tivoli flea market runs on Wednesdays and is a smaller copy of the Porte Portezee Sunday flea market.
