The octagonal towers
Fourteenth-century red brick towers, the oldest parts of the gate.
The Sendlinger Tor is one of three surviving gates from Munich's medieval wall. It was built in the fourteenth century as the city's southern entrance. The gate is red brick with two octagonal towers and a large central arch that people walk through. Its present shape is the result of many changes over the centuries: the middle arch was widened in the nineteenth century to let carriages pass. The gate and the square around it were restored in recent years, so the area is cleaner and easier on foot than it used to be. The visit is free and very short. The gate makes a good starting point for Sendlinger Straße, the shopping street that walks you to Marienplatz in ten minutes.

Three: the Sendlinger Tor in the south, the Isartor in the east and the Karlstor in the west. The rest were demolished in the nineteenth century as the city expanded.
