 | | The city is located on the Pegnitz River, where it emerges from the uplands of Franken (Franconia). |
 | | The inner city, divided into two parts by the Pegnitz, is encircled by a wall completed in 1452, and the older, inner, line of fortifications, dating from 1140 and 1320, can still be traced. |
 | | In addition, there are the Mauthalle (customs house) on the Königstrasse, the Weinstadel (wine storage house), the Renaissance city hall, the Schöne Brunnen (a fountain), the Fembohaus (museum of the old city), and towering above them all, the imperial castle and its stables and granary, the latter now a youth hostel. |
