While Schönbrunn Palace was preferred as a summer residence by the imperial family, the Hofburg Imperial Palace was their winter residence. It currently serves as the official residence of the President of Austria. It was built in 13th century and expanded over the centuries.
Parliament Of Vienna
This is the picture of Austrian parliament building. It lies at the Ringstraße in the capital city Vienna. The architect who designed this building was Baron Theophil von Hansen and the main construction lasted from 1874 to 1883. The Athena Fountain in front of the parliament shows the classical Greek style. Athena, the Goddess of Wisdom, is dressed in armor with a gilded helmet, her left hand carries a spear, her right carries Nike. The four lying figures at the foot of Athena are allegorical representations of the four most important rivers of the Austro-Hungarian Empire.
