Nördlingen, Medieval walled city in Donau-Ries, Germany
The city maintains a complete circular wall with towers and gates, enclosing numerous preserved timber-framed buildings and narrow cobblestone streets within its fortifications.
The settlement, first documented in 898, developed into an Imperial City in 1215 and became a vital trading center during the Medieval period.
The Saint George's Church features a 90-meter tower named Daniel, constructed with stone fragments created during the meteorite impact that formed the Ries crater.
The Ries Crater Museum presents geological exhibits about the meteorite impact, while the Railway Museum displays historic locomotives and railway equipment.
The entire city sits within a 15-million-year-old meteorite crater that created microscopic diamonds, which are present in many local building materials.
