Stephansplatz, Vienna

Uncategorized 1 Minute
1960s Vienna – a tourist poses for a photograph in front of St. Stephen’s Cathedral in central Vienna. Stephansplatz is named after the cathedral – one of the tallest churches in the world. Until the start of the 20th century, there was a row of houses situated approximately where this man is standing. When Vienna’s underground railway was being developed in the early 1970s, an ancient underground chapel was discovered – 12 metres below ground level. . Built in around 1250, by the 14th century it had become a crypt for a prominent Viennese family.
