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.
