The Column to King Wilhelm erected in the middle of the 19th century stands in the center of the city opposite the New Castle and is seen from a distance.
The Column is a manifestation of the people's love and loyalty to their kings.

Visiting Neues Schloss - the New Castle - is a must for tourists coming to Stuttgart for the first time.
You can admire its pavements, fountains and the interior of the castle.
We were lucky enough to be taken inside the castle and to see the marble walls and sculptures, pictures and furniture from the 18th and 19th centuries.

New castle is close to old one but looks more powerful. Besides there is large square in front of it with some monuments. Now it's ministry of culture. The building works lasted from 1746 till 1807 by architects Nikolaus Friedrich Thouret, Leopold Retti und Philippe da la Goepiere.

Must step in and see.
Stuttgart main square was the classic tourist attraction in the city. Main reason is that, the new palace (Neues Schloss), once belongs to King Friedrich I and Wilhelm I, now is the State Finance & Culture Building. The original palace were actually destroyed during the WWII, and now is a new structure built similar to the old one in the 70's

This column I think is very impressive, right in front of Neues Schloss. It was erected in 1841 commemorating the Silver Jubilee of King Wilhelm I
Go up and look closely at the base of the column, where you will see
