Schloßplatz, City square in central Dresden, Germany.
The Schloßplatz extends between Dresden Castle and the Catholic Court Church, featuring wide stone pavements and central gathering areas.
The square dates back to the 15th century and underwent reconstruction after sustaining substantial damage during the 1945 Dresden bombing.
The square displays the sculpture of Frederick Augustus I, relocated from Dresden Zwinger in 2008 following extensive restoration work.
The square's stone architecture creates strong sound reflections, making the adjacent Theaterplatz more suitable for musical performances and concerts.
A stone marked with the letter N indicates where Napoleon Bonaparte assembled his troops before the 1813 Battle of Dresden.
