Viennese Art Nouveau (Part 3) // Wiener Jugendstil (Teil 3)

Out of pure interest, I started studying art history at the University last year. The different building styles are also part of the curriculum. As an architecture fan, I get fully my money's worth here in Vienna. In the era of Historicism (second half of the 19th century), mainly building styles from the past were imitated. That is why you can still find many buildings with Romanesque, Gothic, Renaissance or Baroque influences.

Perhaps even more than the Church at Steinhof, the Karlskirche with its dome and two columns reminds one of a mosque:

Sri Lanka certainly has many architectural treasures too. The old temples and palaces would interest me especially.

Enjoy the "free" Sunday without having to work for your studies! Love from Vie(a)nna.
