One of the Germany's most important historical monuments and a symbol of Berlin is Brandenburg Gate, for which there was restricted access to the New Berlin. It is currently located in the center of the city, in the Square of Paris, very close to the Reichsag and Potsdamer Platz.
La Brandenburg Gate It was built in the VXIII century, during the reign of Frederick William II of Prussia, who requested that the gateway to the Acropolis of Athens be inspired for its construction.
At the top of the door we find the Quadriga, copper sculpture representing the goddess of victory. The same one that was carried by Napoleon to Paris as a trophy from the Battle of Jena in the early XNUMXth century.
Unfortunately, the Quadriga it was almost destroyed during World War II but it was rebuilt in the late 50's. At the beginning of the 60s the Berlin Wall leaving the door without access to both ends but, it was finished being restored when the unification of Germany in 1991.
La Brandenburg Gate can be visited by all who come to the Parisian Square, It is a monument that we can see without having to pay entrance.
If we are in the center of the city we can reach the Paris square on foot, but if we are far away there is no problem, we just have to take a bus that takes us to the station Unter den Linden.
