You're standing on Opernplatz, Opera Square, in front of Frankfurt's Alte Oper, the Old Opera. All around you the towers of the banking district shoot up, but this building comes from another era. Take in that grand Neo-Renaissance façade. It was designed by Berlin architect Richard Lucae, and the people of Frankfurt paid for it themselves.
