More from Vienna

I've mentioned that Vienna is a grand city with lots of monumental buildings. Here's a small selection of stuff I found picworthy.

This is the remains of a Roman structure, almost 2,000 years old. The fortress of Vindobona was built to guard against the northern Celts.


Cool detail on one of the umpteen fountains of the city.


Very cool detail on one of the city's academic institutions.


One of the many shopping streets in the old city center, or the "Inner Stadt".


On a large square in the historically Jewish parts of town stands this memorial to the more than 65,000 Jews killed during WW2.


The central synagogue in Vienna, with the Israeli embassy next door. Our guide told us one is not allowed to stop for too long outside, and armed police are patrolling the street 24/7. Almost 70 years after the end of WW2, this is how it is. Meshuga.


Old church just outside the Inner Stadt.
