Halle

Among the cities of Saxony-Anhalt, Halle stands out for its historic salt trade and for the River Saale running through its centre. The Marktkirche Unser Lieben Frauen, distinguished by its four towers, presides over the central market square. Halle was the birthplace of George Frideric Handel, and the Handel House museum occupies his birthplace; the city also hosts an annual Handel Festival. The Francke Foundations preserve the remarkable educational and social complex developed around an orphanage established in 1698 by August Hermann Francke.
