 monument to Franz II by Skipka
The inner square of castle Hofburg was later used as the hall where cultural and social events took place. Nowadays there is a parking lot and in the middle of it is the monument dedicated to emperor Franz II from the year 1846 where is engraved a part of his testament: "My love to my nations".

 michaelerkirche by Skipka
Michaelenkirche is a salvatorian church and it used to be the main funeral church of the famous Austrian personalities. Nowadays it is also the cultural center. The church itself stands here probably from 13th century simultaneosly with the old castle of Hofburg. Time to time there were renovations and enlargements and in 1792 there appeared also the sculpture "Falling of angels" from Lorenzo Matielli.
In the underground there are around 250 of wooden, metal or stoned coffins. As a rarity there you can see the dead pregnant woman and the sillhouettes of her baby inside. Maybe a little morbid but it is part of the history because as I said it was used for burials and funerals. Leave a Comment

The present Vienna was a Roman town called Vindobona. At the end of the 1st century the 13th and later the 14th Legion built frontier fortifications, whereby Vienna was one of many military camps, which were built along the Danube and joined with a street and a barrier, the so-called Limes.
