Summary

[edit]
Description

After the old city walls were torn down during the mid 19th century, a grand boulevard was created around the historic center of Vienna. Soon monumental buildings were erected along the boulevard, known as Ringstrasse. Five of those buildings were designed by Theofil von Hansen, of which the Parlament is the most monumental. Hansen had studied architecture in Athens and the Greek influence clearly shows in his design for the Austrian Parliamentary Building. The neo-classical architecture is an obvious reference to Ancient Greece, the cradle of democracy.
