We were able to ride a construction elevator to the round porticos. Then another 6 flights of stairs to within 15 feet of the top of the dome, about 220 feet above the ground.
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.
