Okay, this picture would have been soooo much better if the dude on the bike hadn't snuck in, but alas, here it is...Sendlinger Tor is a large Gothic city gate. It is one of three gates that remain from the original secondary city gates, along with Karlstor and Isartor from 1285-1347. Tor in German means gate. This area is heavily pedestrian filled, as Sendlinger Strasse is a long street of shops (which coincidentally leads to Marienplatz) on which is nestled the Asamkirche. (Kirche is German for church) The church which is hiding on Sendlinger Strasse looks like a whole lotta nothin' until you go inside...(more on this church later... See? Now you have to come back!)
