What a beautiful city :-)) I happened to be here for a meeting and spent some time walking around…read moretown and, absolutely loved it. Can't wait to come back and have a closer look at this beautiful old city. Located about 30km from Frankfurt it's easy to get to by car or train. Located on the banks of the Main with lots of cycle paths that lead through some gorgeous bush and countryside, this is a well preserved city with beautiful architecture. Very interesting buildings and some of great historical significance. Great al fresco cafes dot the streets and, there is a central market square where markets are held on weekends and so on. The Benedictine monastery and park grounds are also gorgeous and, a walk along the Main is definitely worth it :-)) I would come back here in a heartbeat :-)) sit back enjoy a drink or a meal amongst hundreds of years of history and take it all in :-) Below is a small excerpt from a travel writer about this city: Now and then, travel writers in Europe stumble across a unique place that has somehow remained undiscovered by the teeming tourist masses. So it was with my random visit to the small, perfectly preserved medieval town of Seligenstadt. Lying only 25 kilometers southeast of Frankfurt am Main, this intriguing town--with a population of only 20,000--packs more sights into a small area than you might imagine. http://europeupclose.com/article/seligenstadt-sw-germanys-undiscovered-gem/

This was once the largest Roman theater north of the alps, with seating capacity for up to 10,000. First uncovered in 1884 during the construction of the South Station, sections were destroyed to make way for train tracks. When they finally realized that they were part of an ancient Roman theater, wartime activities prevented further excavations. Archaeological work only resumed in 1998 with the support of donations, sponsorships, and volunteers from Mainz

Been years since I last visited but it was nice to see it so well preserved. Since this is now on Frankfurt Airport property, (used to be part of Rhein Main Airbase), you can visit during long layovers. We must never forget the scourge of ideology, Communism, Socialism, and Marxism that caused so much human suffering of the innocents. Thank God for the US Air Force and those men and women who refused to stand by and watch Communist Russia attempt to starve a city like Berlin and all the inhabitants. May we now do the same for our present generation wherever and whenever freedoms are threatened by political bullies. For further reading I highly recommend my friend and former colleague, Dr Daniel F. Harrington's book on the Airlift titled "Berlin on the Brink".
