Today we walked through the city from the north of the main city down to the cathedral of St Stephen, then to a Mozart Centre for another multimedia experience, with some history and lots of music and images of Vienna in his day.
St Francis of Assisi Church, known locally as the Mexican Church,
not because of any link to Mexico but becuse it was built on a square know as Mexico Square
Maria Theresia Statue. She ruled the Hapsburg empire from 1740 to 1780,
despite there being an expectation that only men could rule the Empire.
Fine Arts Museum
One of the original gates in the city wall (the wall no longer exists)
Doorway moved to here in 1887. Inside the dome near where the Spanish Horses are trained
Parts of the new Palace built inside the city gates.
Roman waterways and St Michael’s Church
St Stephen’s Cathedral (The NT Stephen this time)
Luca Coffee Shop - one of many in Vienna
Memorial to Admiral Wilhelm von Tegetthof. Although Austria is landlocked its empire at one stage stretched to Venice in the south and North as far as the North Sea which is where Tegetthof commanded the Australian fleet during the second Schleswig War of 1864.
