Karlskirche
Emperor Karl VI built this church to celebrate the Archbishop of Milan, St. Charles Borromeo, for the help he gave plague sufferers during the 1713 epidemic. It is huge and richly embellished and painted. We were able to get all the way to the top to see the frescoes on the ceiling, about 243 feet above the floor! I did not look down.

ReplyDeleteWho was it that said, "Look at all those whistles," when he/she saw the organ at the Mormon Tabernacle? Very impressive! Puts the organ in my little practice room at the U of M to shame!
