Located at the interface between the medieval old town and the residence, built from 1802 for the construction of the National Theater (from 1811) on the east side. On the north and south side buildings by Leo von Klenze in the neo-renaissance style after Florentine model (1825-42): The "royal building" of the residence and the former main post office.
The Staatliche Schauspiel / Residenztheater is a bit inconspicuous between the Nationaltheater and the Residenz.
In the center monument to King Max Joseph I of 1835.

The Bavarian State Opera emerged from the Court Opera, although the Bavarian State Orchestra had existed for a long time. Munich's first opera house, the opera house on Salvatorplatz, was expanded at the instigation of Electress Henriette Adelheid of Savoy in 1657 and can therefore be considered the oldest in the German-speaking world (apart from the Vienna Court Opera, which also dates back to the mid-17th century).
