The square in front of Vienna’s central cathedral is named after St. Stephen, like the cathedral itself. In fact, the cathedral and the square appeared inside the city walls only with the beginning of the 13th century. Until that time, the main church of the city was the church of St. Petra, a complex of buildings on Am Hof and the church of Rupert. Gradually, with the development of the city, buildings began to appear around the cathedral, and even before the beginning of the 18th century, it housed a cemetery and a cemetery chapel of St. Magdalen. At the end of the 19th century, the whole area was reorganized and connected to the neighboring Stock am Aizen. In 1973, during the construction of the metro, the already established new center of the old city pleased the crowns with an interesting find. Underground chapel of St. Virgil, which was associated with the chapel of Magdalena. Today, a mosaic is laid out on the square showing the outline of the Virgil chapel.

From Stephansplatz through the ancient Karststrasse to the Albertina Gallery. In Albertine, there was a Monet exhibition, when the works of this artist were brought from different museums of the world and exhibited together, presenting the same places at different times of the year or at different times of the day. And the walk ended on the square of the old market, the funny story of Mark Twain. Translated with Google Translate
