!!!Heldenplatz

Heldenplatz, Vienna. The Aeusserer Burgplatz square of the Hofburg 
palace was planned under Emperor Franz Joseph as part of the 
Emperor´s Forum but never finished; enclosed by the 
Leopoldinischer Trakt tract to the north-east, the Neue Hofburg palace 
to the south-east ( Hofburg, Kaiserforum) and by the Aeusseres Burgtor 
gate to the south-west towards the Ringstrasse boulevard ( 
Heldendenkmal). To the north-west it remained open, offering a wide 
view of the western part of the Ringstrasse (Parliament, Town Hall, 
Burgtheater). Two equestrian statues of Prince Eugène and 
Archduke Karl by A. Fernkorn.
