The most recognizable Berlin attraction, the visiting card of Berlin - the Brandenburg Gate is located in the heart of the capital of Germany. Nearby is a linden alley that connects the gate with the former royal residence. Their height is more than 25 meters, and they were designed on the model of the front gates of the Athenian Acropolis. As planned, they were supposed to become a symbol of peace, but by the will of fate they became the personification of the power of the absolute power of the Nazi Party in Germany.
