Belvedere 2010-07-14 I usually don't take 'tourist pictures' in Vienna, but after dropping off my wife for a women's group (in an air conditioned cafe) I decided to go to Belvedere to take pictures of flowers in the gardens and couldn't resist at least one classic shot. So here is a 'postcard shot'. The Palace and grounds were Prince Eugen of Savoy's reward for helping defeat the Turks in 1717 and other military victories for the Habsburg Empire. He was a military leader, diplomat, and advisor to three Austrian emperors.
Justizpalast, 1st district Vienna The Austrian Supreme Court and numerous other justice offices are in this building, constructed (like all Ringstrassen buildings) at the end of the 19th century. The central hall shown here is crowned by a statue of Justicia.
Rathaus and Votivkirche Vienna - both constructed in the latter part of the 19th century.
