Die katholische Pfarrkirche St. Martin prägt mit ihrer prachtvollen Barockfassade in der für den Jesuitenorden typischen Architektursprache bis heute die Ansicht des Grünen Marktes. Baumeister des imposanten Sandsteinbaus (erbaut 1686-1696) waren die Brüder Georg und Leonhard Dientzenhofer. Der Kirchenbau markiert den Beginn der sogenannten Dientzenhofer-Ara des fränkischen Barocks. Viele weitere Bauwerke, wie zum Beispiel die Neue Residenz am Domberg, das Schloss Pommersfelden sowie die Klöster St. Michael, Banz und Ébrach, folgten nach.
Zwischen 1897 und 1922 führte eine elektrisch betriebene Schmalspuhrbahn mit drei Straßenbahnlinien auf insgesamt 9 km Länge durch Bamberg. Ihre 13 Wagen waren in den Farben blau und gelb gehalten.
