  2. List of Most visited Monuments 1. Brandenburg Gate Berlin's most famous historic landmark is the Brandenburg Gate (Brandenburger Tor), once a symbol of a divided nation and now a symbol of unity and peace. This Neoclassical gate was commissioned by King Frederick Wilhelm II in 1788, and its design was inspired by the Propylaea in Athens' Acropolis. The sandstone monument is 26 meters tall, standing in the Mitte district's Pariser Platz, just a block from the Reichstag building. 2. Berlin Cathedral

  3. The neo-Renaissance Berlin Cathedral has been through several phases of architectural renovation and religious reform since the middle Ages. Its beginnings can be traced back to a humble parish church built beside the Spree in 1465. The church was reformed in 1539 to follow the Lutheran branch of Martin Luther. Then, when Frederick the Great ordered a new Baroque structure to be erected between 1747 and 1750, the coffins were carefully transferred from the crypt and the old, dilapidated structure was torn down. 3. TV tower

  4. The TV tower is a landmark in Berlin. It even has a special hashtag on Instagram 'that tower again' and it is not a coincidence since the tower is visible almost from every point of the city. It was originally designed to be only 130 meters tall. It is extremely heavy.
