White pearl of Vienna
Who like it, and I personally liked this church the most in Vienna. There are so many architectural styles and influences intertwined in this church, from antique to Arabic, that it seems as if a multilingual choir has been frozen in the fireplace, begging God to save it from the plague. After all, the church was built in 1716-1737 by order of Emperor Charles VI, as a thank you for ridding Austria of the plague. The temple is consecrated in honor of Charles Borromeo, the patron saint of the emperor and protector against the plague.→

Urban architecture lovers
Karlsplatz is considered the authentic, non-tourist center of Vienna, its main square. It is here that Karlskirche is located - a church whose architectural style is a symbiosis of various cultures - Greek (portico), Roman (columns), Christian (central dome in the spirit of St. Peter's Cathedral in Rome) and Eastern (tops of the side towers). Inside the church is designed in a traditional style. Entrance inside the church is paid, the price is 8 euros. The price includes the lift to the observation deck.→
