A Baroque Masterpiece: Belvedere Palace

Belvedere Palace, one of Vienna's most well-known sights, is made up of the Upper (Oberes) and Lower (Unteres) Belvedere, two magnificent Baroque buildings. The Ground Floor Hall with its statues and the Ceremonial Staircase with its magnificent stucco relief and frescoes are two of the Upper Palace's highlights.

The Marble Hall is very worth a look. Numerous historical sculptures, paintings, and ceiling frescoes may be seen in this magnificent two-story hall. The Marble Gallery, which was built to house a collection of historical statues, is another highlight of the Lower Palace. It is characterized by oval plaster medallions and a rich ceiling fresco. The Winter Palace, a Baroque building that once housed the Court Treasury, the Orangery, the Palace Stables, which housed the Medieval Treasury, and the Belvedere Gardens and Fountains linking the two palaces are other must-see buildings.
