House of Pilate

The old half-timbered house on the Tiergertnertorplatz is called the Pilatushaus House. It was built in 1489, for the master who made knightly equipment - therefore, the corner of the facade is decorated with a statue of St. George, dressed in knightly armor. The basement of the house is made of pink sandstone; three floors were erected using half-timbered technology. The pediment with an octagonal turret was completed in the XVI century. Its name is "Pilatushouse".

Aqueducts and baths in Ancient Rome

Water in ancient Rome was an integral part of the life of citizens. Fountains adorning cities, baths in which the Romans kept their bodies clean and relaxed, Navahia (sea battles), where the naval battles were staged - all this required providing the city with a huge amount of water.
