• Berlin, the capital of Germany and the country's
  largest city, is also a major center of politics,
  culture, media, and science. Noted for its
  cultural flair, Berlin is home to the
  world-famous Berlin Opera and Berlin Philharmonic
  Orchestra, while its diverse art scene
  encompasses hundreds of galleries, events, and
  museums, including those on Museum Island, a
  UNESCO World Heritage Site. Despite the
  devastation of WWII, and following decades of
  decay to the east of the infamous Berlin Wall,
  the city has been rebuilt in a way that
  celebrates its successes while acknowledging a
  dark past.

• Reichstag Building
• Reichstag was originally completed in 1894 where
  the Neo-Renaissance palace served as the home of
  the German Empire's Imperial Diet until it burned
  in 1933. It was not used again until after the
  reunification of Germany, at which point it
  underwent a 10-year reconstruction and finally
  became the home of the German Parliament in 1999.

• Brandenburg Gate
• Berlin's most famous historic landmark is the
  Brandenburg Gate (Brandenburger Tor), once a
  symbol of a divided nation and now a symbol of
  unity and peace. This Neoclassical gate was
  commissioned by King Frederick Wilhelm II in
  1788, and its design was inspired by the
  Propylaea in Athens' Acropolis. The sandstone
  monument is 26 meters tall, standing in the Mitte
  district's Pariser Platz, just a block from the
  Reichstag building.

• Berlin Cathedral 
• The neo-Renaissance Berlin Cathedral has been
  through several phases of architectural
  renovation and religious reform since the Middle
  Ages. Its beginnings can be traced back to a
  humble parish church built beside the Spree in
  1465. The church was reformed in 1539 to follow
  the Lutheran branch of Martin Luther. Then, when
  Frederick the Great ordered a new Baroque
  structure to be erected between 1747 and 1750,
  the coffins were carefully transferred from the
  crypt and the old, dilapidated structure was torn
  down.
