Historical Reference

  • Historic Centre of Vienna (C ii, iv, vi) Vienna developed from early Celtic and Roman settlements into a medieval and Baroque city, the capital of the Austro-Hungarian Empire. It had an essential role as the European capital for music, being associated with great composers from Viennese Classicism to modern music. The historic centre of Vienna is rich in architectural ensembles, including Baroque castles and gardens, as well as the late-nineteenth-century Ringstrasse lined with grand buildings, monuments and parks.
