Although suffering massive damage during WW2, historic buildings remain including the remnants of medieval walls and a church from the eleventh century. Famous structures include the Brandenburg Gate and the Reichstag building, rebuilt at the end of the last century. The Berlin Wall, which divided the city during the cold war, was breached in 1989 and the remnants of it are one of the most popular tourist attractions. Developed after the fall of the wall, the contemporary architecture of Potsdamer Square is truly stunning and attracts hundreds of thousands of visitors every year. The top ten attractions include Check Point Charlie and the Mauer Museum where you can learn of the attempts, some successful, others fatally unsuccessful, of those wishing to escape from east to west.
