23/43.- Vienna, city center

Let’s learn something else about the history of this city ... In 1529 the Turks conquered the Balkans and lay siege to Vienna for the first time. They didn’t succeed, but the danger lasted more than 150 years. In 1683 there’s the second siege to Vienna, but with the help of German and Polish troops the Turkish troops are defeated. Freed from the Turkish dangers Vienna undergoes an ascendant period (Vienna Gloriosa).
