A bold tribute to the Florence of the Elbe and Baroque Jewel of Saxony where Dresden, the capital of the Free State of Saxony and one of Germany's most beautiful cities, earned its nickname as the Florence of the Elbe through the extraordinary concentration of Baroque architecture commissioned by the Electors of Saxony during the magnificent reign of Augustus the Strong in the early 18th century, where the Zwinger palace complex with its ornate pavilions and fountains, the Semper Opera House built by Gottfried Semper in 1841 where Richard Wagner and Richard Strauss premièred their operas, the Frauenkirche whose sandstone dome dominates the Dresden skyline and whose reconstruction after its wartime destruction became a powerful symbol of German reconciliation, and the Residenzschloss housing the Green Vault with Augustus the Strong's incomparable collection of jewels and treasures create a cityscape of dazzling Baroque splendour, and where Dresden's suffering in the catastrophic Allied bombing of February 1945 and its subsequent resurrection from the ashes remain central to the city's identity and German historical memory.
