Historic place with a lovely sense of the old time, I love Dresden and this is the place I like the most, have a walk during sunshine day and a coffeeshop around there was nice. Plus they are some musician place around the plaza sometimes make this place even more romantic.
This monument stands in tribute to King John of Saxony. He is mainly noted for unexpectedly inheriting the kingdom, his promotion of industry and being on the losing side of the Austrian-Prussian War. The latter of which lead to Saxony joining the North German Confederation and eventually dissolution of the Kingdom of Saxony. This monument is an equestrian statue on a socle with bronze reliefs on all sides. The bronze relief frieze depicts of trade and industry showing scenes of mining, metalworking amongst other things. At the four corners of the socle are candle like columns which give the monument a temple like look. The monument is in Theatreplatz, who's itself a landmark of Dresden. Worth a look if visiting.
Old historical place wonderful spaces with great views
Nice sight at night
One of the interesting monuments to see in Dresden is that of King John of Saxony, whose reign lasted between 1854 to 1873. This statue was created by Johannes Schilling and in the centre of Theatreplatz, in front of the famous Semper Opera House, This is fairly typical equestrian statue of King John, dressed in robe with sceptre in his right hand. The base of the monument is covered with reliefs and includes by four decorative candle holder sculptures topped with flames. Overall, an interesting monument worth spending a few minutes to view if you enjoy such attractions during your travels. You can conveniently view the King John of Saxony monument prior to watching a performance at the Semperoper, after visiting the Royal Palace or Zwinger Palace which are both just across the street.
