Sterrenberg Castle

Kamp-Bornhofen, Germany

By 1034, Sterrenberg was being mentioned as an imperial castle, but the source is not certain. In 1190, Sterrenberg Castle is listed in the book of Werner von Bolanden as a fief, together with the custom point in Bornhofen. The noble family of Bolanden stayed as lords of Sterrenberg Castle until the second half of the 13th century. From this early period, the bergfried and the first, inner shield wall have survived.

It is really an experience to visit both castles. Sterrenberg Castle consists mainly of a castle ruin and the possibility to eat and drink something. The view from both castle ruins is simply overwhelming. With this castle ruin, the keep is simply a must and is open until 6 p.m. If you want to eat something with an extremely beautiful view, you've come to the right place. However, the Sterrenberg ruins are a lot larger than the Liebenstein ruins. It was a very nice day ?????

We celebrated a beautiful wedding of our friends there. Service was totally great; very attentive and really nice. It was a great day. The music that played in the background all day was great ?

Amphitheatre of the Three Gauls

The Amphitheatre of the Three Gauls was part of the federal sanctuary of the three Gauls dedicated to the cult of Rome and Augustus celebrated by the 60 Gallic tribes when they gathered at Lugdunum (Lyon). The amphitheatre was built at the foot of the La Croix-Rousse hill at what was then the confluence of the Rhône and Saône.

Excavations have revealed a basement of three elliptical walls linked by cross-walls and a channel surrounding the oval central arena. The arena was slightly sloped, with the building"s south part supported by a now-vanished vault. The arena"s dimensions are 67,6m by 42m. This phase of the amphitheatre housed games which accompanied the imperial cult, with its low capacity (1,800 seats) being enough for delegations from the 60 Gallic tribes.

The amphitheatre was expanded at the start of the 2nd century. Two galleries were added around the old amphitheatre, raising its width from 25 metres to 105 metres and its capacity to about 20,000 seats. In so doing it made it a building open to the whole population of Lugdunum and its environs.
