Altstadtviertel

The streets of Altstadtviertel hold rows of preserved Renaissance and Baroque buildings with decorated facades along stone-paved pathways and squares.

The Altstadtviertel developed from a Roman settlement named Lentia into a fortified medieval trading center during the 13th century.

Local artisans maintain workshops in traditional buildings, producing handmade crafts and operating specialty stores that continue centuries-old traditions.

The quarter contains numerous restaurants, cafes, and shops, all within walking distance of public transportation and major cultural institutions.

The district houses the Pestsäule monument, an 18th-century baroque column commemorating the end of plague epidemics that affected the city.
