The core of the town is its Historic City with the Theaterplatz<\/em><\/strong> (lit. Theater Square) as the center, which is surrounded by imposing baroque buildings: die<\/em><\/strong> Semperoper<\/em><\/strong> (Semper Opera), the gallery building of the world famous Dresdner Zwinger<\/em><\/strong> (Zwinger Palace), das<\/em><\/strong> Residenzschloss<\/em><\/strong> (Dresden Castle), die<\/em><\/strong> Hofkirche<\/em><\/strong> (Dresden Chapel Royal) as well as the wall mosaic of the F\u00fcrstenzug<\/em><\/strong> (Procession of the Princes).<\/p>\n Another part of the Historic City is the Br\u00fchlsche Terrasse<\/em><\/strong> (Br\u00fchl\u2019s Terrace), which you can reach within a 2-minute walk from Theaterplatz, past the Castle and the Chapel Royal.
