Belvedere, Vienna, Austria

Our photo shows Belvedere, a historic complex in Austria’s capital city, consisting of two Baroque palaces, stables and an orangery, all in a park setting. Located on the south-eastern edge of the city centre, Belvedere is undoubtedly one of Vienna's most visited tourist destinations and an important historic site. Built as a summer residence for Prince Eugene of Savoy, Belvedere was constructed during a period when Vienna was both the imperial capital and home to the ruling Habsburg dynasty. The two Baroque palaces – the Lower (Unteres) Belvedere and the Upper (Oberes) Belvedere – are linked by the Belvedere Gardens, which are filled with extravagant sculptures.

Belvedere Museum is also an important art museum, housing many of Austria's most important collections including artworks from medieval times, the Austrian Baroque period and Austrian art from the 19th and 20th centuries. Housed in Upper Belvedere, you'll find impressive collections of Austrian art dating from the Middle Ages to the present day, including an impressive collection of sculptures and panel paintings from the 12th century to the 16th century. Among the most noteworthy of these is the Romanesque Stammerberg Crucifix, the oldest surviving example of Tyrolean wood carving.
