It is also home to a UNESCO World Heritage Site, Museum Island Berlin, which houses five world-famous museum buildings showcasing the city’s rich historical and artistic heritage. Besides renowned museums, Berlin also boasts a fair share of iconic landmarks. The Berlin Wall Memorial stands in the city’s heart to commemorate the struggle for freedom during the Cold War. Another notable historical monument is the Brandenburg Gate, a majestic neoclassical sandstone gate now considered a national symbol of peace and unity.
