Görlitz contains over 4,000 listed monuments, spanning Gothic, Renaissance, and Baroque architectural styles. This collection highlights the city's most significant landmarks, including the late-Gothic St. Peter and Paul church, the Art Nouveau Görlitz Department Store, and the Holy Sepulchre—a 15th-century replica of the Jerusalem original. Visitors can explore medieval fortifications at the Kaisertrutz and Reichenbach Tower, or walk across the Altstadtbrücke, which connects the German city to its Polish counterpart, Zgorzelec.
