Attractions in Berlin
Brandenburger Tor 
This monument dates from 1791 and was built by famous architect Carl Gotthard Langhans. It commemorates PEACE and it has been a symbol that stands for the impenetrable boundary between East and West Berlin. Years after, it was taken as a symbol of Prussian militarism and it was guarded by the Quadriga. This famous monument has also been used as scenery for political rallies. Back in 1961, when the Wall was built, it was sealed of. Later, when the Wall was turned down in 1989, it was reopened and everyone may travel through it.
