Construction of this gigantic, symmetrical square began in 1816, several years after the plans for a western entrance to the city had been drawn up. The Propyläen
to the west (Doric), Glyptothek
to the north (Ionic) and the Ausstellungsgebäude (now the State Collection of Antiques) on the southern side (Corinthian) are symbolic of religion, history and art. Crown Prince Ludwig, later Ludwig I, intended it to be a cultural forum. The Führerbau (Führer Building) and Haus der Kulturinstitute (now the Academy of Music and the State Collection of Graphics) can still be seen on the east side of the square.
