The topography of Bamberg is shaped by its adjacent River Regnitz and the upper lands of Steigerwald. The town is vertically separated into the Regnitz plain, a large and several small islands joined by two arms of the Regnitz (Inselstadt), and the town of Hill Town or Bergstedt. Due to its geographical similarity with Rome, Bamberg is often called Franconian Rome or the Italian Bamberg. Like the former, Bamberg also extends over seven hills, each capped by a church. The population is around 7000, out of which 4100 are American army men and their dependents.
