Welcome

The historical buildings, monuments and museums in Mainz are only too happy to share their experiences with you. If you get near enough and look closely enough, you will learn quite a bit about our 2000-year-old city. The Roman temple, the royal palace, the Cathedral and Marc Chagall‘s Blue Window await you!
Mainz has been many things to many people: the Roman Castrum Moguntiacum, the Jewish Magenza, the residence and capital of the Prince Electors, an archbishopric, a university town and a fortified city of the Holy Roman Empire of the German Nation as well as the Mainz Republic. These are all epochs of “Golden Mainz” as the city has been known since its heyday in the Middle Ages.
