      The moat surrounding Nuremberg's Imperial Castle today invites you to take a stroll through history. Once part of an ingenious defense system, it houses underground casemates with loopholes and secret passages that reach up to 12 meters deep into the sandstone. These impressive battlements, built between 1538 and 1545 under the direction of master builder Antonio Fazuni, are now accessible for guided tours and offer a fascinating insight into Renaissance fortress architecture.
