Pirna, the jewel on the banks of the Elbe River, already inspired the famous Venetian artist and painter to the royal court of Saxony, Bernardo Belotto, known better as Canaletto. Everybody who has visited the Dresden Picture Gallery and who has been to Pirna talks with pride and a master’s view – the Caneletto view – of a town from a picture-book.
Located in the picturesque landscape between Dresden and Saxon Switzerland, architectural treasures line up after each other like a string of pearls.
The well-preserved town center with the Town Hall, rich in gothic portals, Sonnenstein Castle, the Protestant town church of St Mary’s and the Caneletto House are a feast for the eyes of its visitors.
