Quadriga of Berlin
The Quadriga of Berlin is a famous sculpture located atop the Brandenburg Gate in Berlin, Germany. Created by the artist Johann Gottfried Schadow in 1793, it features a chariot drawn by four horses, symbolizing victory and peace. The sculpture is made of bronze and stands as a significant landmark in the city.
Originally, the Quadriga represented the goddess of victory, Victoria, guiding the chariot.
