Mohrenkolonnaden, Neoclassical colonnade in Berlin, Germany
The Mohrenkolonnaden features double Doric columns made of sandstone, forming a covered passageway adorned with sculptures depicting local river deities in its pediments.
Carl Gotthard Langhans designed this architectural structure in 1787 under the commission of Prussian King Friedrich Wilhelm II as part of Berlin's city fortifications.
The colonnade represents one of three remaining historical colonnades in Berlin, demonstrating the architectural evolution from Baroque to Neoclassical styles in German construction.

Among five similar representative structures built in Berlin during the 18th century, the Mohrenkolonnaden stands as the only one preserved in its original location.
