Olympic stadium clock tower
Description
The clocktower was originally built as part of a Nazi shrine and since my first visit in 2004 the lower parts of the site have been refurbished and re-opened as a museum detailing the complex history behind the 1936 Olympics and how the Nazi's used it as a way of attracting positive international feeling towards the Reich. A lift (again installed since my first visit in 2004) now whisks you up to a viewing platform just below the bell and a flight of stairs takes you on up to the roof. From the roof the views over both the Olympic park and the wider western end of Berlin are spectacular.
