 . Pop. (1905) 60,790. It consists of three partsthe old town to the
east
 , and the middle and new towns to the westof which the first retains some of the antique features of a Hanse town, while the last two are for the most
part
  regularly and handsomely built. There are also several suburbs. The town has four
gates
 , one of them dating from the 14th century, and some fine squares, among them the
Blucher
  Platz, with a statue of
Blucher
 , who was born here, and the Neue Markt. Rostock was a fortress of some strength, but the old fortifications have been razed, and their site is occupied by promenades. Rostock has five old churches: St Mary's, dating from 1398 to 1472, one of the most imposing
Gothic
  buildings in Mecklenburg, with two Romanesque towers and containing a magnificent bronze font and a curious
clock
 ; St Nicholas's, begun about 1250 and restored in 1450, and again in 189o94; St Peter's, with a lofty tower over 400 ft. high, built in 1400, which serves as a landmark to ships at sea;
