The Brandenburg Gate is an iconic neoclassical monument located in Berlin, Germany. Built between 1788 and 1791, it was designed by architect Carl Gotthard Langhans and features twelve Doric columns, creating five passageways. The gate symbolizes peace and unity and has witnessed many significant historical events. Originally serving as a city gate, the Brandenburg Gate became a symbol of the division during the Cold War when it stood near the Berlin Wall. After the wall's fall in 1989, it emerged as a powerful emblem of reunification and freedom, attracting millions of visitors each year.
