Brandenberger Tor (Brandenberg Gate), Berlin, Germany, 2007

The Brandenberger Tor, or Brandenberg Gate, was constructed in 1788-1791 by the architect Carl Gotthard Langhans as an actual city gate, back in the days when Berlin was indeed a walled city with gates. It was the last, and most monumental of all the gates, and has long been one of the most recognizable landmarks of Berlin.
