Berin’s most iconic landmark was built in 1791 by Carl Gotthard Langhns after Friedrich Wilhem II commissioned the entryway to the Prussian sector. It is located west of the city center, just in front of Tiergarten and the Reichstag. The gates mark the classic period of Berlin architecture; it is inspired after Propylae, the gateway to Acropolis in Athens, and on its top, Viktoria the Roman goddess of victory can be seen driving a chariot of four horses facing east.Quote_transparent
