7 Most Famous Walls In The World - Page 3 of 9

Berlin Wall, Germany

This wall was built much later than the previous ones, but just as much famous. Construction began in 1961, at the peak of the cold war. It was built in the middle of Berlin by East Germany in order to stop East Berliners to escape to the west. It was finally taken down with the fall of the Soviet Union in 1989. Remnants can still be found today in Berlin and are one of the biggest tourists attractions.
