ACHILLEION - The Palace of Elisabeth (Sisi) Empress (Corfu, Greece)
Enable English subtitle ! - Activați subtitrarea în românește !
The Achilleion Palace was built by Empress of Austria Elisabeth of Bavaria, also known as Sisi. Elisabeth was a woman obsessed with beauty. She had a very powerful, but tragically vulnerable character since the loss of her only son, Crown Prince Rudolf of Austria in 1889. A year later in 1890, she built a summer palace in Corfu island, about ten kilometres to the south of the city of Corfu. The central theme of the palace is the mythical hero Achilles. Elisabeth spoke fluent Greek and expressed a desire to further immerse herself in the Greek culture. The palace was designed by Italian architect Raffaele Caritto. Ernst Herter, a famous German sculptor, was commissioned to create works inspired from Greek mythology. His famous sculpture Dying Achilles, created in Berlin in 1884 as inscribed in the statue, forms the centrepiece of the Achilleion Gardens. The palace surrounded with classic Greek statues is a monument to platonic romanticism as well as escapism and was, naturally, named after Achilles: Achilleion. The place abounds with paintings and statues of Achilles, both in the main hall and in the lavish gardens depicting the heroic and tragic scenes of the Trojan war. The architectural style is Pompeian.
The Imperial gardens on top of the hill provide a majestic view of the surrounding green hill crests and valleys with the Ionian sea gleaming in the background. Elisabeth used to visit the place often until 1898 when she was assassinated in Geneva by Italian anarchist Luigi Lucheni.
After Elisabeth's death, the German Kaiser Wilhelm II purchased Achilleion in 1907 from her heirs and used it as a summer residence. During his visits a lot of diplomatic activity used to take place in Achilleion having it turned into a hub of European diplomacy. Wilhelm, expanding on the main theme of the grounds, commissioned his own Achilles statue from the sculptor Johannes Götz who created an imposing bronze sculpture that stands tall as a guardian of the Gardens facing north toward the city. Kaiser's statue represents Achilles in full hoplite uniform with intricate detailing such as a relief of a gorgon's head at the shield, apparently to petrify any enemies, as well as lion heads as knee protectors. This tall statue is surrounded by palm trees that complement its graceful outline. Kaiser Wilhelm visited the place until 1914 when World War I was declared.

Sisi-Pfad durch die Wagenburg
Der Lebensweg Kaiserin Elisabeths von ihrer Hochzeit bis zu ihrem tragischen Tod.
Gezeigt werden u. a. ihr Einzugswagen als kaiserliche Braut, die bezaubernden Kutschen ihrer Kinder, der goldene Imperialwagen in dem sie zu ihrer Krönung in Budapest gefahren wurde und jene Kutsche, die sie unmittelbar vor ihrer Ermordung in Genf benützte. Am Ende dieser Reihe steht der imposante schwarze Leichenwagen, mit dem sie zu Grabe getragen wurde.
Präsentiert werden diese Kutschen gemeinsam mit Porträts, Gemälden und weltweit einmaligen Objekten aus Sisis persönlichem Besitz: Eine wahre Ikone für Sisi-Fans ist das prachtvolle schwarze Kleid mit meterlanger Schleppe, das um 1885 von Fanny Scheiner für sie entworfen wurde. Die eindrucksvolle Erscheinung der Kaiserin mit der berühmten, von ihr erfundenen „Wiener Wespentaille“, wird durch dieses Originalkleid auf einzigartige und unvergleichliche Weise wieder lebendig gemacht. Kultstatus haben auch der einzig erhaltene Sattel der Kaiserin (die als beste Reiterin ihrer Zeit galt) und ihre nun erstmals rekonstruierte „Reitkapelle“ mit den Porträts ihrer unzähligen Lieblingspferde.

Wien Vienna winter 2016 Austria
Vienna is the capital and largest city of Austria and one of the nine states of Austria. Vienna is Austria's primary city, with a population of about 1.8 million (2.6 million within the metropolitan area, nearly one third of Austria's population), and its cultural, economic, and political centre. It is the 7th-largest city by population within city limits in the European Union. Until the beginning of the 20th century, it was the largest German-speaking city in the world, and before the splitting of the Austro-Hungarian Empire in World War I, the city had 2 million inhabitants.Today, it has the second largest number of German speakers after Berlin. Vienna is host to many major international organizations, including the United Nations and OPEC. The city is located in the eastern part of Austria and is close to the borders of the Czech Republic, Slovakia, and Hungary. These regions work together in a European Centrope border region. Along with nearby Bratislava, Vienna forms a metropolitan region with 3 million inhabitants. In 2001, the city centre was designated a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
Apart from being regarded as the City of Music because of its musical legacy, Vienna is also said to be The City of Dreams because it was home to the world's first psycho-analyst – Sigmund Freud. The city's roots lie in early Celtic and Roman settlements that transformed into a Medieval and Baroque city, and then the capital of the Austro-Hungarian Empire. It is well known for having played an essential role as a leading European music centre, from the great age of Viennese Classicism through the early part of the 20th century. The historic centre of Vienna is rich in architectural ensembles, including Baroque castles and gardens, and the late-19th-century Ringstraße lined with grand buildings, monuments and parks.

The Burggarten Vienna
Burggarten, Vienna, Austria
At the turn of the 19th century, Vienna was still surrounded by a defensive wall, at a time when most cities in Europe had started to demolish city fortifications. The wall proved useless in stopping Napoleon from occupying Vienna, and in 1809, when Napoleon left, he demolished large parts of the defensive wall.
This created space around the Hofburg, and part of it was used to create a private palace garden, the Burggarten. The garden was laid out in an informal English style. In 1918, with the fall of the Habsburg Empire, the park opened to the public.
Mozart Monument in the Burggarten in Vienna,
There are several monuments in the park, including a fountain with a statue depicting Hercules fighting with a lion. The 18th century statue was installed at the center of the Burggarten's pond in 1948.
The solemn statue of Emperor Franz-Joseph I was created in 1904 and moved to its current location in 1957. A more classical equestrian statue shows Emperor Franz I, spouse of Empress Maria-Theresia.
The most photographed statue in the Burggarten is undoubtedly the Mozart Denkmal, created in 1896 by the Austrian sculptor Viktor Tilgner. The monument, which was originally erected at Augustinerplatz but moved to the Burggarten in 1953 shows Mozart on a pedestal surrounded by putti and musical instruments. Reliefs refer to Mozart's famous opera 'Don Giovanni'.
Palmenhaus, Burggarten, Vienna
Palmenhaus
The Burggarten is bordered to the north by the Palmenhaus, a magnificent glass palm house designed by Friedrich Ohmann in the Jugendstil style (the local version of Art Nouveau). The iron and glass structure was built between 1901 and 1907 as a greenhouse.
Today the central part is home to a popular café. The left part of the Palmenhaus houses the Schmettlerlinghaus, a butterfly garden where you can see tropical butterflies and even bats.
Imperial Vienna in Black and White (Schönbrunn Palace)
Schönbrunn Palace, once the summer residence of the Habsburg family, together with its ancillary buildings and extensive park is by virtue of its long and colourful history one of the most important cultural monuments in Austria. Scheduled as a listed monument, the whole ensemble, including the palace, the park with its numerous architectural features, fountains and statues and not least the zoo -- the oldest of its kind in the world -- was placed on the UNESCO World Cultural Heritage List in 1996.

Volksgarten, Wien/Фольксгартен в Вене
Фольксгартен (Народный сад) был заложен в центре Вена в 1821 году, как часть дворцового комплекса Хоффбург. Он был построен над остатками городской фортификации, разрушенной войсками Наполеона в 1809 г. и открыт для публики в 1823 г.
Здесь расположены мраморные памятники императрице Елизавете (Сиси), поэту Францу Грильпарцеру, а также австрийскому канцлеру Раабу. Парк украшает огромный розарий, насчитывающий более 3000 кустов и 200 сортов роз.
The Volksgarten (English: People's Garden) is a public park in centre of Vienna. The garden, which is part of the Hofburg Palace, was laid out by Ludwig Remy in 1821. The park was built over the city fortifications that were destroyed by Napoleon in 1809. The Volksgarten was opened to the public in 1823. At the northern end of the park stands the Empress Elizabeth Monument by Hans Bitterlich and Friedrich Ohmann, completed in 1907. At the southern end of the park stands the Franz Grillparzer Monument by Carl Kundmann, completed in 1875.

Schönbrunn Palace (Schloss Schönbrunn) in Vienna is one of the most important cultural monuments in Austria and since the 1860s has also been one of the major tourist attractions in Vienna. The palace and gardens illustrate the tastes, interests and aspirations of successive Habsburg monarchs.
Vienna Schönbrunn Palace Schloss Schoenbrunn Wien
Schönbrunn Palace (German: Schloss Schönbrunn [ʃøːnˈbʁʊn]) is a former imperial 1,441-room Rococo summer residence in modern Vienna, Austria. One of the most important cultural monuments in the country, since the 1960s it has been one of the major tourist attractions in Vienna. The palace and gardens illustrate the tastes, interests, and aspirations of successive Habsburg monarchs.
Das Schloss Schönbrunn liegt im 13. Wiener Gemeindebezirk Hietzing. Sein Name geht auf einen Kaiser Matthias zugeschriebenen Ausspruch zurück, der hier im Jahr 1619 auf der Jagd einen artesischen Brunnen „entdeckt und ausgerufen haben soll: „Welch' schöner Brunn.
Gebaut als Residenz für Kaiserin Eleonora Gonzaga zwischen 1638 und 1643, wurde es in der Zweiten Wiener Türkenbelagerung 1683 schwer beschädigt. 1687 gab Leopold I. für seinen Thronfolger Joseph I. einen repräsentativen Neubau von Johann Bernhard Fischer von Erlach in Auftrag.
Erst ab 1743 wurde unter Kaiserin Maria Theresia durch Nikolaus von Pacassi und Johann Ferdinand Hetzendorf von Hohenberg das Schloss und der Park in seiner heutigen Form um- und ausgebaut. Der barocke Palast war von der Mitte des 18. Jahrhunderts bis zum Ende des Ersten Weltkrieges die Sommerresidenz des österreichischen Kaiserhauses. Das Schloss war in dieser Zeit fast durchgehend von einem mehrere hundert Personen umfassenden Hofstaat bewohnt und wurde zu einem kulturellen und politischen Mittelpunkt des Habsburgerreiches. Während der österreichisch-ungarischen Monarchie wurde es auch k. k. Lustschloss Schönbrunn genannt.
Schönbrunn ist das größte Schloss und eines der bedeutendsten und meistbesuchten Kulturgüter Österreichs. Das Schloss und der etwa 160 ha große Park sind seit 1996 Teil des UNESCO-Weltkulturerbes. Eine Hauptattraktion im Schlosspark ist der älteste noch bestehende Zoo der Welt, der Tiergarten Schönbrunn (16 ha).
