In the heart of Berlin, in midtown, the historic Unter Den Linden square is home to The Brandenburg Gate, the Berlin Opera House?, as well the American and French Embassies. The streets around Unter Den Linden are lined with statues of "Friedrich Der Grosse", and museums that examine German history from pre-unification and the Prussian Empire, all the way through Soviet control, and into present day. Around the Christmas Holiday, Unter Den Linden becomes the site of the largest Christmas Market in the city.
