St. Stephen's Cathedral (German: Stephansdom) is the mother church of the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Vienna and the seat of the Archbishop of Vienna, Christoph Cardinal Schönborn, OP. The current Romanesque and Gothic form of the cathedral, seen today in the Stephansplatz, was largely initiated by Duke Rudolf IV (1339–1365) and stands on the ruins of two earlier churches, the first a parish church consecrated in 1147. The most important religious building in Vienna, St. Stephen's Cathedral has borne witness to many important events in Habsburg and Austrian history and has, with its multi-coloured tile roof, become one of the city's most recognizable symbols. ]]> 2023-03-07 19:53:08 UTC https://padlet.com/letschallengethefuture/75bstg5d3s1rh4om/wish/2507475589 SPOT 9 Stock im Eisen Platz, Wien letschallengethefuture https://padlet.com/letschallengethefuture/75bstg5d3s1rh4om/wish/2507475590 Task 9 - Take a picture of the "Stock im Eisen"

The Stock im Eisen (German: "staff in iron") is the midsection of a tree-trunk from the Middle Ages, a so-called nail-tree (Nagelbaum), into which hundreds of nails have been pounded for good luck over centuries. It is located in Vienna, Austria, in Stock-im-Eisen-Platz, now part of Stephansplatz, at the corner of the Graben and Kärntner Straße and is now behind glass on a corner of the Palais Equitable. ]]> 2023-03-07 19:53:08 UTC https://padlet.com/letschallengethefuture/75bstg5d3s1rh4om/wish/2507475590 SPOT 8 Michaelerplatz, Wien letschallengethefuture https://padlet.com/letschallengethefuture/75bstg5d3s1rh4om/wish/2507475591 Task 8 - Take a picture of the main gate of the Hofburg. 

One of the (many) joys of Vienna is finding little places to stand in and feel like you travelled back in time. One such place is Michaelerplatz, the historic city-centre square at one end of the Hofburg palace complex. ]]> 2023-03-07 19:53:08 UTC https://padlet.com/letschallengethefuture/75bstg5d3s1rh4om/wish/2507475591 SPOT 7 - Spanische Hofreitschule, Michaelerplatz, Wien letschallengethefuture https://padlet.com/letschallengethefuture/75bstg5d3s1rh4om/wish/2507475592 Task 7 - Take a picture of a White Horse. 

The world-famous performances by the Lipizzans – the Ballet of the White Stallions – take place in the unique, baroque Winter Riding School at Hofburg Palace, built under
 Charles VI.
These performances are the result of years of training for the rider and their Lipizzans.
 From the young, boisterous stallions to the fully trained School Stallions, 
they enchant the audience with their performance in the School Quadrille, in the Schools on and above the ground and on the Long Rein.
This atmosphere and the accompanying classical Viennese music make the wonderful presentation by the rider and their Lipizzans even more enjoyable.

The Minoritenkirche (English: Friars Minor Conventual Church, related to the monastic Order of Friars Minor Conventual monks), formally called Italienische Nationalkirche Maria Schnee (English: Italian National Church of Mary of the Snows, related to the Italian Congregation who is the owner of this church), was built in French Gothic style in the Altstadt or First District of Vienna, Austria.[2]
The site on which the church is built was given to followers of Francis of Assisi in 1224. The foundation stone was laid by King Ottokar II of Bohemia in 1276. Duke Albrecht II later supported the building process, especially the main portal. The Gothic Ludwig choir was built between 1316 and 1328, and used as a mausoleum in the 14th and 15th centuries. Construction of the church was completed in 1350.

The Theseus Temple was built between 1819 and 1823 by court architect Peter von Nobile. It was designed to house a single work of contemporary art: Antonio Canova’s white marble masterpiece Theseus Slaying the Centaur. For almost seventy years this artwork stood alone inside the building, until in 1890 it was moved to the newly­completed Kunsthistorisches Museum, where it remains today on the museum’s monumental staircase.
