Belvedere Palace - Belvedere Palace
A Baroque palace in Vienna, the capital of Austria. It consists of two buildings, the Upper Palace and the Lower Palace, with a beautiful garden between them. It was built in the early 18th century as a summer residence for Prince Eugen (1663-1736), the general who led the war that began with the second siege of Vienna by the Ottoman Turks in 1683, but was later sold to Empress Maria Theresa, Archduchess of Austria. Currently, the Upper Palace is the Austrian Picture Gallery, the second largest art museum in the country, and the Lower Palace is the Medieval and Baroque Museum. At the Upper Palace, you can see 19th and 20th century paintings such as Gustav Klimt's (1862-1918) masterpiece "The Kiss" and Egon Schiele's (1890-1918) "The Family," while at the Lower Palace, you can see Baroque art such as portraits of Maintenance and frescoes by Rottmayer. Within the palace grounds is the mansion where composer Anton Bruckner (1824-1896) spent his later years. The local name is "Belvedere Palace."
