Karlskirche
Dedicated to Saint Carol Borromeo, a saint invoked in times of plague, Karlskirche (St. Carol Church) was built in 1737 and remains the most important Baroque religious building in Vienna.This vast building is crowned by a 72 -meter magnificent dome and is famous for the 33 -meter twin triumphal pillars, which are based on Trajan's column in Rome, with their spiral bands depicting scenes from Saint Carol's life.The interior attraction points include the fabulous frescoes of St. Cecilia.Make sure you check the official website of the Church for details about its regular concert program. It is worth visiting Gardekirche, built in 1763 in the southern district of the city as a church of the Imperial Hospital and which later serves the Polish congregations (a special interest is the painting above the Great Altar))
