Many remnants of the Berlin Wall remain visible in the city today. We visited one the more well known sites and what is known as the East Side Gallery. As you can see from my photos the 'Wall' has been marked with artwork and graffiti - mostly making social comment on the culture and history of Germany. Situated directly behind this section of the Wall, you can view the Torture Chambers. They were placed underground so that the screams of torture would not be heard by citizens walking by. You will notice that there had been attempts to destroy the chambers, however now they stand as a reminder to past atrocities.
