    When we arrive at our final destination, we take in a bit of the history of this city in the St. Martin's Basilica in Halle. Have you heard of the cannonballs of Our Lady of Halle? According to legend, she collected it in her cloak in 1489 to protect the city of Halle from siege. The many stained glass windows tell the story of this place, how it grew into a place of pilgrimage. The basilica also houses several masterpieces from European art history.
