Visited my main focus today after researching it this morning, massive fascination with its history, from being bombed to bits & pieces in WW2 to its Ancient Roman cemetery origins. walked around it, inside it and underneath it.. had a tour of the old catacombs, they used to be used as food storage for the city in medieval times but now house the remains of many bishops, priests, royalty; I stood right next to Empress Maria Theresa’s organs which are owned by the church (her body is mummified & buried somewhere else). And also stood next to the bones of the thousands who died from the Black Death in Vienna. Totes cool 🤓 — #vienna #ststephensdom #stephensplatz
