What makes Metz Exploration Private Game and City Tour on your Phone a unique experience ?
The Porte Serpenoise traces its origins back to the Roman era, highlighting its long-standing importance in the city’s history.
The palace represents the German Empire’s efforts to imprint its architectural style and influence on Metz, which had been annexed into the German Empire from 1871 until the end of World War I in 1918.
Transformation to a Church: In the 7th century, the building was converted into a Christian basilica as part of a Benedictine monastery, marking its transition from a secular Roman building to a religious site.
Its design contrasts with the Gothic architecture of the nearby Metz Cathedral, emphasizing the diverse architectural heritage of the city.
The Opera-Theatre was inaugurated in 1752, making it one of the oldest theaters in France still in operation.
The Temple de la Garnison was built between 1875 and 1881 during the period when Metz was under German control following the Franco-Prussian War (1870-1871). This period lasted until the end of World War I in 1918. It was constructed to serve the spiritual needs of the German military garrison stationed in Metz, highlighting the strategic and military importance of the city during the German annexation.
The Metz Cathedral, also known as the Cathedral of Saint Stephen (Cathédrale Saint-Étienne de Metz), is a prominent and historically significant landmark in Metz, France. The cathedral boasts one of the tallest naves in the world, standing at 41.41 meters (136 feet). This contributes to the grandeur and vertical emphasis typical of Gothic cathedrals.
The German’s Gate (Porte des Allemands) in Metz is a significant historical and architectural landmark. It was constructed between 1230 and 1250, making it one of the oldest and most well-preserved medieval gateways in the city.
