Isar Gate Isartor
The Isartor, the only one of Munich's town gates that has preserved its gate-tower, formed part of the fortifications erected by Ludwig the Bavarian in the first half of the 14th C.
It consists of a tall main tower with the gateway itself in front flanked by smaller towers either side. The fresco (1835) by Caspar Neher above the gateway depicts Ludwig the Bavarian's triumphal entry following his victory over Friedrich the Handsome of Austria at the Battle of Ampfinger in 1322.

Valentin-Musäum
The Valentin-Musäum - the spelling is deliberate, in keeping with the irreverent spirit of the place - commemorates, with the aid of pictures, curios and humorous documents etc., the popular actor-comedian Karl Valentin (1882-1948) and his comic partner Liesl Karlstadt. Very much a Munich "character", Valentin was particularly noted for his witty dialogues.
In the north gate-tower there is a museum of folk music and a folk-singers' cafe in the style of a turn-of-the-century coffee house.
