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. Here, too, you'll find a cast-iron bandstand (1871); a number of pieces of modern sculpture by Calder, Hrdlicka, and Hajek; and a lovely fountain.
