Saint Ambrose - Holy Trinity Cathedral Dresden

The Cathedral of the Holy Trinity (Hofkirche) in Dresden, Germany is beautiful to look at inside and out. The church was built in the style of the late Italian Baroque and after almost complete destruction on 13.02.1945 carefully reconstructed.
The inside of the building shines brightly. The figures of St. Ambrose and St. Augustine, two church fathers who are specifically linked to the 'foundation' of the Church in general and the church, are both the work of Balthasar Permoser.
St. Ambrose, born 339 (Trier), died 4 April 397 (Mailand), is the patron saint of bees, beekeepers and candle makers. He is usually depicted with bees or a hive.

Catholic Church of the Royal Court - Hofkirche Dresden

The Frauenkirche (Church of Our Lady - Cathedral St. Trinitatis) may be the symbol of Dresden, but the Catholic Church of the Royal Court of Saxony (Hofkirche), deserves equal attention. It stands as the largest church in all of Saxony.
The foundation stone was laid in 1739 with construction completed in 1754, whereafter the church became the coronation and burial place for generations of Saxon kings. The heart of Augustus the Strong was buried here while his body was buried in Krakow, Poland.
The cathedral was badly damaged during the air raids on Dresden in 1945. Bombs fell through the roof of the nave, causing it to collapse. The interior was extensively burnt. Reconstruction of the church began soon after the end of the war, but progress was slow. Serious reconstruction only started in 1979.
Finally, in 1987, the reconstruction of the entire structure was finished. The interior contains the last organ built by master craftsman Silbermann as well as an altar and pieta made of Meißner porcelain. The baroque church is one of the most beautiful buildings in Dresden.

Procession of Princes - Dresden Germany

The outside wall of the Langer Gang, the long passage which connects the Dresden Castle (Residenzschloss) with the stables,is home to one of Dresden's most famous sights. It is the Procession of Princes (German: Fürstenzug), a mounted procession of the rulers of Saxony.
Originally constructed in 1589, then, between 1871 and 1876, painted, the porcelain manufacture of Meissen transferred a picture of the painting on 23,921 Meissen porcelain tiles to make the work weather proof (between 1904 and 1907). During the World War II bombardments only 654 tiles were broken. In 1978-1979 the mural was restored in its original beauty.
TheProcession of Princes is the most effective way I've ever come across, to force passers-by to remember who made this city.
