Siegestor

Fodor's Review:

Marking the beginning of Leopoldstrasse, the Siegestor has Italian origins—it was modeled after the Arch of Constantine in Rome—and was built to honor the achievements of the Bavarian army during the Wars of Liberation (1813-15). The inscription on the side facing the inner city reads: dedicated to victory, destroyed by war, admonishing peace.
