Peterskirche

Despite the St.Stephens Cathedral being undoubtedly Viennas most famous church it is certainly not the oldest. The St.Peters church which is located in the immediate vicinity of the St.Stephens Cathedral was (re-)built in the second half of the 4th century. Originally the Roman building served for military purposes. At that time Vienna went by the name of Vindobona, and was a Roman fort.

The picture shows the dome of the church with it's stunning fresco.
