Beautifully restored baroque houses define the character that is the face of Speyer’s prominent main street which connects the Imperial Cathedral with the Old City Gate and Tower. No gabled house looks the same as the next while the unicorn head on the roof on the Unicorn Apothecary directs attention to one of the oldest apothecaries in Germany.
