Post‑Siege Vienna, 1690
Seven years after the Ottoman siege was broken, Vienna stands as a fortified, repaired city with its glacis cleared and the first baroque palaces beginning to rise inside the bastions. This walk moves from the meadowed approaches and the city gates into the tight medieval streets, past the plague column on the Graben and the Hofburg courts, finishing at a high vantage over the red roofs and church spires.
33 scenes — 21 streets, squares and views, 12 interiors to step inside. Planned from the Wikipedia record of Vienna as it stood in 1690 (“History of Vienna”).
