St. Michael's Square

Michaelerplatz Square, Michaelerplatz, Michaelerplatz
Austria, Vienna
Michaelerplatz is a small circular square at the entrance to Hofburg Palace. It faces the Michaeler Gate, which is decorated with 19th-century fountains. The square got its name from the parish Church of St. Michael located on it, built back in the 13th century. The square acquired its modern baroque style at the end of the 19th century, and the first gas lamps in Vienna were installed here. Surrounded by Michaelerplatz are interesting buildings such as the Art Nouveau Looshaus, Herberstein Palace, St. Michael's Church and St. Michael's Wing of the Hofburg Palace. And in the center of the square are the ruins of a Roman military camp - they are publicly available and are part of the exposition of the Vienna Open Air Museum.

The name of the square was given by the church of St. Michael. In the center of the square - excavations of an ancient Roman settlement. Numerous tourists are invited to travel by horse-drawn carriages, which are in short supply here. Well, the aroma of the stables, especially in the evening, is well present here.
