Austrian Parliament

The Austrian Parliament Building, a neoclassical masterpiece designed by Theophil Hansen, stands as an architectural gem on Vienna’s Ringstraße. With its grandiose Greek Revival style, the building draws inspiration from ancient Athens, evident in the grand columns and intricate pediments that evoke the ideals of democracy. Positioned prominently in front is the Pallas-Athene-Brunnen, a majestic fountain featuring the goddess Athena, symbolizing wisdom and strategic warfare. Be sure to capture the detailed allegorical sculptures representing the main rivers of Austria. The interplay of light, particularly during sunset, illuminates the marble figures, offering stunning photo opportunities.
