Pariser Platz, Square and garden monument in Mitte, Berlin, Germany
The rectangular Pariser Platz spans 1.5 hectares in front of Brandenburg Gate, connecting Unter den Linden street with 17th June Street.
Built between 1732 and 1734 under Frederick William I, the square changed its name from Viereck to Pariser Platz in 1814 after Prussia captured Paris.
The square holds numerous cultural institutions, including embassies, the Academy of Arts, and the Liebermann House displaying German art collections.
Visitors can reach Pariser Platz using the U55 metro line or S1, S2, and S25 train lines at Brandenburg Gate station.
From 1961 to 1990, the square remained within the death strip of the Berlin Wall, completely inaccessible to both East and West Berlin residents.
