Capital of the Republic of Austria and one of Europe`s most visited cities, Vienna Wien owes much of its charm and rich history to its splendid location on the banks of the Danube River.The Maria Theresien Platz Vienna B2 is located directly at the Ringstrasse, embedded in an imperial scenery between the Museum of Natural History and the one for Art History. Directly across the Ringstrasse you can find the Hofburg and across the Museumsplatz there is the Museumsquartier. After the Viennese Ringstrasse was finished in the year 1865 this place with its garden in front of the Hofburg came into being. The Maria Theresa Monument Vienna is a huge memorial in the center of the place. This, probably most important monument from the Habsburger, was constructed under the lead of Kaspar von Zumbusch in a 13 years construction period. It was revealed ceremoniously in the year 1888 by the presence of the empress -Sissi-.
