Sendlinger Tor, Medieval gate tower in Altstadt, Germany

The Sendlinger Tor features two hexagonal towers connected by a central arch spanning the entrance to Munich's historic district.

Built between 1285 and 1337 under Ludwig of Bavaria, the gate formed part of Munich's second fortification system with its side towers added in 1420.

The gate marks the boundary between Munich's old town and Isarvorstadt, serving as a central point for seasonal markets and community gatherings.

The location functions as a transportation hub with an underground station, currently undergoing modernization works scheduled for completion in 2024.

A large fountain installation at Sendlinger Tor Platz produces five water streams reaching heights of 3.5 meters across 320 square meters.
