Sendlinger Tor in Munich, Bavaria - Germany
The oldest of the three remaining gates of Munich's outer city walls is the Sendlinger Tor.
The gate was presumably built in 1318 and was the gateway for the trade route to Italy. The tall central tower was demolished in 1808 and in 1906 the three arches that connected the two outer towers were replaced by a single, large arch, enabling cars to pass through the gate. At the same time two smaller gates were created in the hexagonal towers for the pedestrians.
