Leipzig’s most famous landmark, the Monument to the Battle of the Nations, stands on the historic site of the 1813 battle. Inaugurated in 1913, this imposing monument of concrete and granite porphyry rises 91 metres into the air. The viewing platform offers impressive views of Leipzig and the surrounding area. With a fascinating design by Bruno Schmitz, the memorial features a crypt decorated with knights, colossal statues standing almost ten metres and a dome 68 metres high.
The acoustics of the domed hall make concerts an unforgettable experience, and the FORUM 1813 museum offers a fascinating insight into the history of the Battle of the Nations.
