Erfurt's most famous and impressive landmarks are the gothic St. Marien Dome with St. Severi Church and the Krämerbrücke, Europe's longest built-up and inhabited bridge. The baroque Petersberg Citadel was considered an impregnable city fortress and, together with the old synagogue, is a testament to European architecture.
