Passau is situated on a spit of land, at the confluence between the Danube, the Inn and the Ilz, each with differently coloured waters. The Domplatz lies at the highest point of the city, which serves to its advantage, as Passau is threatened by floods each year. The square was built in 1150, and in 1155, after donations by the Bishop Konrad von Babenberg, it became the property of the Cathedral, under the condition that clerical houses be built on its free sides. These 14 buildings were damaged by the great fires of 1662 and 1680, and then rebuilt by Italian architects in a late-Baroque style. In 1824, a statue of Emperor Maximilian I of Bavaria was placed in the square. Thus, for the first time in its history, the square became public, gaining the status of an official town square. It was renovated after 2013. Its pavement was replaced with fine gravel, pointing to its previous historical eras. Its lighting is spectacular, one of the finest in Europe. Highlighting the fa\u00e7ade of the Cathedral, leaving the square and the rest of the buildings in half-light, it enngages in a subtle game of darkness and light, linking the past, when cities did not have public lighting, with the future. The effect is that of a scene from a Baroque play.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"825\" height=\"510\" src=\"https:\/\/www.intothesquare.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/Passau.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-293\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.intothesquare.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/Passau.jpg 825w, https:\/\/www.intothesquare.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/Passau-300x185.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.intothesquare.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/Passau-768x475.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 825px) 100vw, 825px\" \/><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This urban structure was determined by its geographical position, one of the most spectacular in urban Europe.
