The expansive Schlossplatz is very much the focal point for visitors and locals alike. Surrounded by buildings dating from Stuttgart's past role as a ducal and royal capital, at the center of this vast open space are its lovely gardens and Jubilee Column, erected in 1841 to commemorate King William I's 25 years of rule.
In the middle of Palace Square towers the Jubilee Column (1841), surmounted by Condordia, goddess of harmony.
