A chunk of the Berlin Wall is embedded in the arches of Toronto City Hall. (Twitpic by Shawn Micallef http://twitpic.com/oo1pb ) The Freedom Arches span the Nathan Phillips Square reflecting pool/skating rink.

At the base of the arches is a piece of the Berlin Wall.

Naming of the Freedom Arches and placement of a block of the Berlin Wall was a project of Markus Hess and the Black Ribbon Day Committee in the early 1990s.
