What it is
In October 1813, on the outskirts of Leipzig, the allied armies defeated Napoleon in the Battle of the Nations. A hundred years later, in 1913, this 91-metre monument of concrete and porphyry was inaugurated here, which inside is an enormous crypt of stone figures. At the top there is a platform with views over the whole city.
