Photos of King's Square

King's Square is a neoclassical style square. It was used as a square for the Nazi military parade in World War II. It was built in the early 19th century. The Greek gatehouse in the west of it was built in 1862 to imitate the gatehouse on the Athens Hill. On the north and south sides of the square are several Roman temple-style buildings, which are now museums, including the Hellenic Museum, the Antiquities Museum and the Lengbach Art Gallery. The Hellenistic Museum has a large collection of ancient Greek and Roman sculptures. The works date from the 6th century BC to the 4th century AD. The collections in the museum of cultural relics are mainly small ancient Greek and ancient Roman works of art, such as vases, jewelry, ceramics and weapons. The Lengbach Art Museum is located to the north of the Greek gatehouse. It used to be the private villa of the famous painter Lengbach. After 1929, the famous German painter genre "DerBlaueReiter" (DerBlaueReiter) was specially collected here, such as Kandinsky (WassilyKandinsky), Mark (FranzMarc), Münter (Gabriele Münter) and others have many paintings left in this museum inside. In summer, open-air concerts are held in the square, and films are sometimes shown.
