Story · Peterskirche

You're standing on Petersplatz, right off the Graben, with the Plague Column just around the corner. In front of you is St. Peter's Church. Notice how hidden it is? The surrounding buildings almost swallow it up. You only get a proper view from right here in front. So take a moment and look up at that green dome with its little turrets. This was the very first domed church of Baroque Vienna.
