金廳對麵巨大教堂叫（KARL）卡爾教堂,門前立了兩個幾乎‘入雲’的凱旋柱

二戰勝利時蘇聯占了維亞納，狗尾續貂/畫蛇添足
地在傍邊立了一個蘇軍勝利雕像，和一個半圓環牆
圍著他。

我兩月前剛訪問過哪裏，印象美好，所以借風景兄的寶地
添兩句。

This church was built to honor Saint Charles （Karl in German）Borromeo and thank God for delivering Vienna from the plague. Stately in appearance, it is often overlooked by tourists in spite of its imposing presence.

Inside it is brightly lit in comparison to the Stephansdom, and the frescoes and murals can easily be studied for hours. But remember, like all churches and cathedrals in Vienna, this is a place of worship, and you are likely to find yourself in the middle of a service with little warning. The building actually incorporated four different types of architecture. The columns are evocative of ancient Rome, the front entrance is Greek, the dome is contemporary Roman, and the towers are Viennese. The two columns in front are decorated with scenes from the life of Saint Charles Borromeo. The left column shows his steadfastness, the right illustrates his courage. Both were inspired by Trajan;s Column in the Forum in Rome. Each conceal a winding staircase leading to observation points at the top. These staircases are now closed. The church appears to have recently undergone renovation, but unfortunately has been marred by graffiti. This may be the result of being next door to a university.
