Renaissance buildings in Vienna
Vienna has retained only a limited number of Renaissance buildings.
Quote: “The cradle of the medieval town is located around Stephansdom, its Romanic/Gothic cathedral, and by walking in the nearby net of narrow streets it is possible to find elements of Renaissance architecture, which, in the case of the courtyard of Backerstrasse clearly show an Italian influence (for a similar courtyard in Rome see Palazzo di Giacomo Mattei, a family who had close links with the Habsburgs).”
