 a scene of the victory over the turques in 1683 by globetrott, 4 more photos When you are inside the Mausoleum you may see this interesting painting in the very centre of the ceiling of Katharinenkirche : It shows the siege of Vienna by the turques and it shows emperor Leopold as the heroic conqueror over the turques, although Leopold fled to Passau as soon as the turques arrived in Vienna, and he did not return, untill his troops could finally push back the enemies... Click on my picture and see the city of Vienna & the siege of the Turques in 1683. It was not only a victory against Turkey, BUT also a victory of the Christian faith over the Moslems and for that reason this large painting was made in the centre of the cuppola in the church.

In a very short period the town of Graz was under the Ottomans rule. Their main goal was to conquest Vienna, but with no succes at all. Not many traces of the Ottoman's rule can be seen in Graz today, this well in Schlossberg is one of the rare examples. I do not remember whos statue represent this monument, probably one of the Ottomans sultans or generals. Leave a Comment

The Grazers are devoted and practicle catholics, there are many signs of it in the town. This beautiful Holy Trinity column stands on the vegetable market, which is situated on the right bank of river Mur right opposite to the castle hill. Leave a Comment

by Imbi Graz is a very musical city. Not only did Europe's first jazz faculty open in its university, but the west bank is home to a several delightful little boozers offering live Turkish and Croat folk music. Graz also boasts a notable music festival, and a stunning Opera House, kitted out in cod high-baroque Leave a Comment

 1 can, 2 cans, 3 cans... by polardabar There is a thing which is not to be forgotten nor ignored while in Austria - Mülltrennung - dividing every kind of garbage into a separate can! It takes a lot of space [and a lot of cans] & is basically kind of useless, since they put it at the same pile in the end, but when in Rome... ;) Leave a Comment

 Roasted chestnuts by aramat Similar stalls can be found in various parts of the city: the roasted chestnuts smell good, taste great, and holding the little bag warms the hands in winter. Leave a Comment

 Hundebar by aramat This bowl of water for dogs was offered on Sporgasse (I'm sorry I don't remember the name of the bar, they would deserve to be mentioned) and I love the idea very much: it's so simple, but shows care and I'm sure it's welcome by pet owners. Leave a Comment

The emperor Franz Josef was the greatest ever emperors of the Hapsburg family. He succseded in making so called K und K monarchy one of the most powerfull states in Europe and the rest of the world. K und K monarchy ruled over the whole of the Central European territory. Most of the Austrians admire this emperor even today being very pround on his great both political and cultural achivements.

The towns Concert Hall is situated on the Franz Josef Square. There ecxists a long tradition of music in this town and its citizens are real music lovers. In case of attractive concert, and not only, you cannot get the ticket coz the most of the concerts are sold-out. Leave a Comment
