THEATERPLATZ
Bordered by the Historicisant style Dresden, the Gemäldegalerie - anterior part of the Zwinger - and the baroque ", the classic Schinkelwache, the Italienische Dörfchen and the Taschenbergpalais, the Theatre Square is an enchantment for the eyes. Located in the west of the historic heart of the city, it was not designed to host the bourgeois houses, but to glorify the cultural and religious power of the princes of Wettin. In his throne, a equestrian statue of King Jean reigned between 1854 and 1873, performed by sculptor Johannes Schilling. This king, a aesthetic who preferred the Arts in the throne, made a name by translating the Divine Comedy of Dante into German. A sad irony of history, this place devoted to arts and religion was renamed Adolf-Hitler-Platz under the Nazi regime.
