Regensburg, Germany: David and Goliath Mural

How many people have been inspired by the legend of David and Goliath? How many sports teams have been underdogs and gone on to pull upsets?

Apparently Regensburg buys into the story. It has a large mural near the entrance to the old part of the city.

Melchior Bocksberger gets credit for this piece of public art, which dates back to 1573. The host building dates back to 1260. Interestingly, the building's name - Golias - came first. It is the guardian angel of the theology students that stayed in the building in the day.

Yes, stopping during a visit and taking a photo is just about mandatory here.
