Elisabetta Canoro - Vienna útikönyv BK24-21528

Not so long ago, Vienna was the elegant capital of a huge empire, and today it is a modern metropolis where, alongside the skyscrapers, it has managed to preserve the delightfully beautiful, historic downtown. As a border city and a natural meeting point of East and West, the Austrian capital was nourished by the cultures of the peoples who made up the extensive Habsburg Empire and later the Austro-Hungarian Monarchy. In 2001, UNESCO added Vienna's city center to the World Heritage List, namely with the following justification: the city center preserves memories from three key eras of the cultural and political development of the old continent: the Middle Ages, the Baroque era, and the "Gründerzeit", from the second half of the 19th century. Vienna has deservedly held the title of "European capital of music" for centuries. The latest volume of our series is dedicated to the noble city of the Habsburgs and Mozart, and we present Vienna's artistic and human heritage based on historical events.
