| Fountain in Leipzig Square We headed back to the main Leipzig square, walking through the present day University of Leipzig. The main town square has a huge fountain and I shot this detail of some of the decorations on it. I have a soft spot for horses with webbed feet, don't you? From Leipzig we drove to Torgau to see a truly once-in-a-lifetime exhibit of materials related to the Reformation in Saxony. The collection includes artifacts from museums from all over Europe, including the Vatican. We saw the papal bull of excommunication of Luther, the only existing copy of the Augsburg Confession, enormous original Cranach paintings, and much more. The exhibit was housed in the massive Torgau Castle, the historic home of the Saxon Electors, particularly those who protected Luther. |
