Another weekend, another place to visit this time to Stuttgat! Regarded as the "cradle of automobile", Stuttgart is considered as the starting point of worldwide automotive industry. Mercedez Benz and Porshce have both their headquarters in Stuttgart, as well as automotive parts giants like Bosch and Mahle.
Before that, Stuttgart was a site for breeding cavalry horses, the Old High German name stuotengarten meaning "stud" as in, an estate for horse-breeding.
Schlostplatz
Known as the palace square, Schlostplatz is right at the main center of Stuttgart. The largest square in Stuttgart, it stands at the crossover point between the city's shopping area, Schlossgarten Park which runs down to the Neckar River, Stuttgart's two central castles and major museums and residential areas to the south west.
Originally, the square served as military drill and parade ground until the 19th century where it was opened to the townspeople. Up until the second half of the 19th century, this was the royal residence of the kings of Württemberg. Today, the palace contains ministries of the Baden-Württemberg state government and state reception rooms.
I'm at the Palace Square!
The Palace Square could be a bit crowded during daytime..
Faith in Stuttgart
Christianity remains the largest religion in Germany, with an estimated 61% of the country's population. Two major faith dominates Stuttgart namely, Roman Catholic and Protestant.
Another Catholic church in Stuttgart
The Stiftskirche church (Collegiate Church) is an inner-city church in Stuttgart,

The main park and shopping center is a great place to hang out, you'll find many choices
of al fresco coffee shops and relax while observing the beautiful Stuttgart
after a good retail therapy!
