“Marienplatz is a representative building featuring a large Gothic ballroom, which hosts ceremonial events such as symposiums, commemorations, and award ceremonies. Marienplatz marks the onset of the pedestrian zone and lies just a stone's throw away from both the Viktualienmarkt and the Frauenkirche. The tower of the New Town Hall offers a stunning panoramic view of the old town, making the bustling crowds below appear miniature, with the view accessible via an elevator. Surrounding this area are numerous shops and restaurants. At the centre of Marienplatz proudly is the Marian Column, a dedication to St. Mary, revered as "Bavaria's Patroness." This splendid adornment features columns soaring over eleven meters high, fashioned in the likeness of the figure of Mary.”
