The following pictures are from the Maximilianeum, the Bavarian state parliament, and surrounding area. The Maximilianeum is a spectacular building with a huge street (Maximilianstrasse) leading up to it lined with massive building after massive building.

| The Maximilianeum |
The Maximilianeum was built in the mid-19th century by King Maximilian II, originally as home for gifted students. It has been the state capitol building, the Bavarian Landtag, since 1949. The Maximilianstrasse crosses the Isar River and passes by a statue of the King himself. For a nice panorama view, check this out

| A look down the Isar |
Turn to the left after crossing the Isar and you'll see the massive Sankt Lukas Kirche, one of four that goes by the same name in Munich. It has a small Bascilica and is surprisingly light inside given just a few windows, the most interesting of which are a pair of circular stained glass windows near the ceiling.
