Belvedere
The Belvedere consists of two splendid rococo mansions, designed
in the early 18th century, which face each other across formal,
sloping grounds offering excellent views over the city. From the
outside it is Vienna's finest palace complex, built by Prince
Eugène of Savoy (1680-1735), the famous general who saved Vienna
from the advance of the Ottoman Empire. The museums in the two
palaces house some of Vienna's most renowned art galleries,
offering excellent examples of Austrian art from the middle ages to
present day. Their displays include an unrivalled collection of
paintings by Klimt as well as famous works by Schiele and
Kokoschka, Renoir and Monet. The Medieval and Baroque works are
presented in the Lower Palace where many rooms have been preserved
in their original state.
