Without doubt the biggest and most beautiful inner-city park, the Hofgarten was originally designed in the 16th century as a pleasure garden for the royal family. The garden was allowed to fall into ruin by successive rulers but was rebuilt by Prince Karl Theodor in 1769, partly in order to create jobs for the local populace. Although it was destroyed during the French occupation of the city in the early 19th century, Napoleon immediately gave orders for it to be rebuilt. The result was the typical English landscape garden which visitors can still admire today. The park contains numerous statues and sculptures and is popular with joggers and sunbathers.
