The Berlin Wall

The Berlin Wall symbolizes the folly of a century and the absurdity of a history from which not much time has passed. 
Searching for the ruins of the wall that has characterized part of the history of the city is a must. 
Edified in the August of 1961, the Berlin Wall has represented an insurmountable limit of over 150 kilometers that divided the whole city in two parts. 
There have been many attempts of escape that have failed and some that have succeeded: around 100 deaths have been documented at the Checkpoint Charlie. 
Around the city there are various witnesses of its past presence such as the 300 meters piece, saved by the pastor Fischer, or the East Side Gallery: 1,3 km of wall covered with graffiti done in 1990 by 118 artists coming from 21 countries, or also thei nvalidenfriedhof, crossed by some ruins of the Wall.
