Due to an architectural project at university I had the pleasure of visiting the city of Vienna in February. The main focus of my trip was the Ringstraße, this is a ring road that circles the medieval core of the city.
The Parliament Building
The Ringstraße was built due to the destruction of the original city defence wall. The need was expansion was necessary being the main contributor for the destruction of the wall.
From the destruction of the wall came the construction of many impressive structures around the city centre.
Historic maps of the city planning
The main focus of my trip was looking at the museums located along the Ringstraße. The two museums are located opposite one another, built in a Neo-Renaissance style.
