Munich - Karlstor

The triple-arched Karlstor at the western end of Neuhauser Strasse marks the entrance to Munich's Old Town. It formed part of the city's second ring of walls, which stood from 1319 until 1791. Known until then as the Neuhauser Tor, the gate was renamed in 1791 when the walls were demolished on the orders of the Elector Karl Theodor. After an explosion in 1861 the gate was rebuilt, but minus its central tower.
