Austrian Parliament / Österreichisches Parlament One of the beautiful buildings with very impressive old greek style architecture in Vienna. Roman influences inside the building. The guided tour is very interesting and reasonably priced. Visit also during the night. The building is most impressive at night. A short walk from the Kertner Strasse and Opera. Good place for photography. Allowed to take photos inside and outside. Very recommended!

Not sure if it should be a separate location from the parliament, but.. really excellent statue, probably my favourite in Vienna at all.

It is situated just outside the Austrian Parliament building. Visible from the inner ring itself.

Beautiful statue of the Goddess Athena and the building is impressive. Tram 4&6 can get you there

One of the best statues in the city. The poses are elegant and placed in perfect harmony to each other. Overall impression is a story full of emotions and power. Flowing water streams add to the motion captured in the statues. Placement in front of the Parliament building adds to the charm and makes for a perfect photospot.

It is one of Vienna's representative buildings, wich was recently renovated. The renovation of the building was a great success, which is definitely worth a visit if you are in Vienna.

Nice building but is under construction now so, not much to see.

Saw this a few years ago, stunning building. Worth checking out.

The fountain was designed by Theophil Hansen in 1870 as part of the parliamentary ensemble, but construction work began in 1898, 15 years after the building was completed. 1873 was still an allegorical representation of Austria as the main character provided. However, this idea was rejected in favor of Pallas Athena, who was more neutral for the multi-ethnic monarchy.

Was there a few years ago had great time five days of site seeing the statues in front of the parliament building awesome statues everywhere a lot of history super place for a holiday Vienna was named city with highest quality of life

The Pallas Athene Fountain right in front of the Parliament is a fascinating building.

The Athena Fountain in Vienna is a beautiful and impressive monument that is definitely worth a visit. Located in front of the Austrian Parliament building, this fountain depicts the Greek goddess Athena in all her glory, standing atop a pedestal surrounded by four smaller figures. The fountain was designed by the Austrian sculptor Carl Kundmann in the late 19th century, and it is considered to be one of the most significant examples of Neoclassical art in Vienna. The fountain's intricate details and stunning craftsmanship make it a true work of art. In addition to its aesthetic appeal, the Athena Fountain also has historical significance. It was commissioned as part of the reconstruction efforts after a devastating fire destroyed much of the Parliament building in 1884. Overall, the Athena Fountain is a must-see attraction for anyone visiting Vienna. Its beauty, history, and significance make it one of the city's most beloved landmarks.

Excellent!!

Beautiful Building

(Translated by Google) Nice and classic. (Original) Schön und Klassik.

(Translated by Google) Wonderful place (Original) Wunderschöner Platz

(Translated by Google) Beautiful place. It is worth stopping and enjoy the beauty of Athena's pedestal with a Greek portico in the background. (Original) Cudowne miejsce. Warto się zatrzymać i podelektować się pięknem postumentu Ateny z greckim portykiem w tle.

(Translated by Google) The Austrian parliament looks somewhat ridiculous like a Parthenon pastiche ... ... even a temple of the knights of the zodiac. The statue of Athena is really too much and should be moved elsewhere. (Original) Le parlement autrichien ressemble de manière assez ridicule à un pastiche du Parthénon... ...voire à un temple des chevaliers du zodiaque. La statue d'Athéna est vraiment too much et devrait être déplacée ailleurs.

(Translated by Google) Worth to see. (Original) Warto zobaczyć.

Perhaps to draw inspiration from the birthplace of democracy, the Austrian Parliament building is inspired by Greek architecture ad motifs. Greek columns adorn on top by bronze quadrigas. The Greek goddess Athena stands in front of the building. Many statues and reliefs around the building are sculpted in Greek styles including statues of Greek scholars and statesmen. For a moment I had mistaken myself in Greece, but that has been the influence of the Greeks on democracy.

Awesome 💯

at the front of the parliament the view of the visitor is dominated by a 5,5 m high statue of Pallas Athene which stands in the middle of a large fountain. The sculptor Carl Kundmann created the statue according to the plans from architect Hansen. He was not able to see the finished statue as Hansen was already dead when it was revealed in the year 1902. The goddess of wisdom Pallas Athene holds in her right hand a small figure of Nike the goddess of victory and in her left hand a spear. She is surrounded by personification of the legislation (right side) and the execution (left side) of the laws. Directly at the fountain bowl, which consists of granite, the both main rivers of Austria, Donau and Inn, are represented by a female and male figure. Also the inside of the building is full of history and art. Whether entrance hall, atrium, pillars hall, reception room or the Reichratssitzungs hall which is reserved for special occasions: The history and architecture impresses the visitor.

We visited this place in the day called open doors day and that was great and very organized.

Its pretty, the whole parliament building is georgeus, but you cant enter. So you only visit this from outside

Currently the Historic Building is closed for renovation. But they offer some amazing free tours on hero's square ( 90 min Democracy power places), and in the temporary Parlament which is the former dancing halls of the Habsburg monarchs ( 50 mins and after 1300 you also get to see the winter riding School). Highly recommended.

(Translated by Google) Now around repair and construction. Do not see anything. But you can go inside (Original) Зараз навколо ремонт та будівництво. Нічого не розгледіти. Але пройти всередину можна

(Translated by Google) Statue of the Greek goddess Athena positioned immediately at the entrance of the Austrian Parliament building. The constructive style perfectly recalls the Greek neo-classicism and the conservation is impeccable, with a beautiful use of gold. Too bad for the work in the building that didn't allow me to fully enjoy it. (Original) Statua delle dea greca Atena posizionata subito all'ingresso del palazzo del Parlamento Austriaco. Lo stile costruttivo richiama perfettamente il neo classicismo greco e la conservazione è impeccabile, con un bellissimo utilizzo dell'oro.

Beautiful building. So sad is close for reconstruction

(Translated by Google) Just save it at the moment. It is a gigantic construction site !! You can not see anything. (Original) Spart es euch zur Zeit einfach. Es ist eine gigantische Baustelle!! Man sieht nichts.

(Translated by Google) Athens Pallada Fountain in front of the Austrian Parliament Building (Parliament is an administrative building). The sculptural composition with the fountain was founded in 1893-1902. It depicts the gods of the year. The original project. Many interesting sculptures. At the foot of 4 (four) figures of the annual gods - depict the 4 (four) largest rivers of the Danube and Inn in front, the Elbe and Vltava behind. Female figures represent the legislature and the executive. Above all stands the gilded goddess of wisdom Athena the patroness of the city, in her left hand holds a spear, and in her right a statuette of Nika. (Original) Фонтан Афіни Паллади перед будівлею парламенту Австрії (парламент - адміністративна будівля). Скульптуна композиція з фонтаном обудовано в 1893-1902 роках. Зображає річних богів. Оригінальний проект. Багато цікавих скульптур. Біля підніжжя 4 (чотири) фігури річних богів – зображають 4 (чотири) найбільші річки Дунай та Інн спереду, Ельба та Влтава позаду. Жіночі фігури уособлюють законодавчу і виконавчу влади. Найвище з усіх стоїть позолочена богиня мудрості Афіна покровительниця міста, в лівій руці тримає спис, а в правій статуетку Ніки.
