Berlin: Unter den Linden - Frederick the Great’ Equestrian Statue

The centrepiece of Unter den Linden is a large equestrian statue of Frederick the Great. Ruling his country like a boot camp from 1740 to 1786, Frederick established Prussia as a military power and envisioned turning Berlin into his "the new Rome."
Even today, sitting atop his horse, the statue of Frederick oversees grand remains of that vision.
