The heart of Schwäbisch Hall is the spacious market square with the grand open staircase leading up to St. Michael's Church. Stand at the top and look out over the half-timbered roofs. The cityscape here has an aura that testifies to a long history as an important salt-producing town. Early in the morning or in the evening, when the light falls at an angle, it's all in a class of its own again.

is considered one of the most beautiful historic old towns in Southern Germany and, together with the partially preserved city wall, the numerous towers, the covered wooden bridges, a variety of stairs and "Stäffele" as well as almost unchanged medieval alleys, forms an impressive cityscape. The market square, framed by magnificent half-timbered, Renaissance and Baroque buildings, is an architectural gem. Opposite the town hall, built in the style of a baroque noble palace, rises the Romanesque-Gothic St. Michael's Church with its mighty external staircase - simply magnificent and stunning.
