Romanesque Road, Scenic route in Saxony-Anhalt, Germany.

The Romanesque Road runs about 1,200 kilometres through Saxony-Anhalt in a figure-of-eight, with Magdeburg at its centre. It links 88 Romanesque buildings in 65 places, built between 950 and 1250, including cathedrals, monasteries, castles and village churches. The official sign shows three concentric round arches, the feature that identifies Romanesque windows and doors along the route.

This route traces the path of early medieval Christian settlements from the 10th to 12th centuries, following the reign of Emperor Otto the Great who established Saxony-Anhalt as a major political and religious center of European civilization.

The route's emblem, shown on red signs with white borders, is a line drawing of three concentric round arches on four columns, echoing Romanesque windows and doors. The annual Romanesque Prize, worth €10,000, rewards commitment to enlivening and economically strengthening the route in Saxony-Anhalt.

Visitors can explore the route at their own pace using multiple transport options, following either the northern or southern loops to discover ancient cathedrals, monasteries, castles, and half-timbered towns across the region between the Harz mountains and River Elbe.

The Romanesque Road became part of Transromanica in 2006, when the Council of Europe named that network a European Cultural Route. Transromanica links stations in Germany (Saxony-Anhalt and Thuringia), France, Italy, Austria, Portugal, Serbia, Slovakia and Spain. The route's own idea dates from 1991 and was realised in 1993.
