Description

A view from the balcony of the Town Hall or Rathaus. The square with its beautiful old houses, and in the background the Schloßberg, a hill dominating the old town. Graz is the second-largest city in Austria after Vienna and the capital of the federal state of Styria. On 1 April 2010 it had a population of 291,890 (of which 258,605 had principal residence status).Graz has a long tradition as a student city: its six universities have more than 44,000 students. Its Old Town is one of the best-preserved city centres in Central Europe. Politically and culturally, Graz was for centuries more important for Slovenes than Ljubljana, the capital of Slovenia, and still remains influential.Graza has also a long-standing relationship with northeastern Italy. Thanks for your kind comments.

Beautiful image! Lovely view, with the square looking like a 'V' coming to a point in the distance. Gorgeous sky, color, and light!
