From the courtyard In der Burg, an underpass in Leopoldinischer Trakt leads to the Heldenplatz (public square of heroes), immense external courtyard of the Hofburg, a time used for military parades, today in part garden, part parking. Sluice on the bottom from the Burgtor, than separates it from Ringstrasse, the public square is delimited on the opposite side from the long baroque facade of the Leopoldinischer Trakt, only marked from the balcony of the noble plan; on the left there are, at first, the facades of the Zeremoniensaal, realized in 1802-1806 on plan of L.de Montoyer for being used like it knows it of the throne, and of the Festsaal, colossal room of festivities (m2 1000) obtained in the connection with the Neue Burg from Baumann in 1911 (today both part of the center conferences). Always on the left, but more rear, there is the concave facade of the Neue Burgs faced from the equestrian statue by bronze of prince Eugene of Savoie work of T.Fernkorn (1859-65).
