The Graben goes back to Roman times- originally the Romans had the fortress ditch of their camp here. Later the ditch (“Der Graben”) was filled up with soil flattened by the English soldiers of Richard Loewenherz (Richard the Lionhearted). Than the place became a market for meat, vegetables and bread. Today the Graben is full of expensiv shops and tourists. As I walked there, I didn't wanted to go closer, so I took this shot from a side street. Maybe one day there will be not so many people there ...
