Breser - Breser Zentrum/ Austritz

Intro

Breser Zentrum/ Austritz (Breser Centre/ Austitz) is the oldest part of the city. We split the quarter in two parts: Romänisch Breser (Roman Breser) and Breserplatz (Breser Square). Because it's the oldest part of the city, the oldest buildings of the city are here too. I'll tell you something now about the most important buildings of Breser Zentrum/ Austritz.

Breser Rathaus (Breser Cityhall)

Romänisch Breser

Romänisch Breser (Roman Breser) is the ancient part of the city. There are temples, the Galiasseum, the Sankt Maria Kirche (Saint Maria Church) and the Sankt Johan Kirche (Saint Johan Church). The Roman temples are of gods Mars and Jupiter. The Galiasseum is an ancient amphitheatre. It's called after Brodavus Galiassus, the emperor of the province Brodavia in the Roman Empire. The churches are not built in the same time like the temples and the Galiasseum.

In the Saint Martin Friedhof (Saint Martin Cemetry). Also a lot of other important persons are buried in the cemetry. The first cathedral in the city was the Rotes Kathedral (Red Cathedral). The cathedral had been called like that because the tower of the cathedral is red. The cathedral hasn't got any other names, for example after a saint. It isn't the largest cathedral in the city, but it was the first. The next building is Mozart Opernhaus (Mozart Opera House). The operahouse had been called after Mozart. It had been built by king Jan IX. Mozart played a lot of concert in the house and there is a statue of him, in front of the operahouse.
