Karlsplatz

Karlsplatz is one of several historic city squares in Munich Germany.  It is also called "Stachus", after a pub that was once located there.

The square features a large fountain and the Karlstor Gate, a gothic gate that was once an entrance way into the medieval city.  The gate was built in the 13th century but was subsequently reconstructed.
