Potsdam's Brandenburger Tor - Great Attractions (Potsdam, Germany)
- 13 years ago
Take a tour of Potsdam's Brandenburger Tor in Potsdam, Germany – part of the World’s Greatest Attractions travel video series by GeoBeats.
The Brandenburg Gate lies in splendor just north of the Old Market Square in the northeast city of Potsdam, Germany.
Construction of the elegant monument, featuring Roman arches and Corinthian columns, concluded in 1770.
Each of the two sides of this gate reflects the two architects who designed the magnificent structure, and as such are markedly different in appearance.
After passing through the gate and following a straight trajectory, visitors will find the lovely Church of St. Peter and Paul.
Originally, before the town found itself significantly expanded, the gate separated Potsdam's inner city from the, then, countryside.
This monument and its specific design was commissioned and overseen by King Frederick the second himself, giving it prominent historical significance.
