Fancy Art and Architecture
Baroque is an artistic style that started in Italy during the 17th century. This style spread across Europe, and is characterized by "over-the-top" decorations, large scale architecture, impressive details, bright colors (especially with gold accents), and an emphasis on religion. This style was prevalent in Viennese architecture and art, and can be seen in buildings and museums throughout the city. One of the main Baroque churches is Karlskirche (Karlsplatz), and can be seen in multiple frescos throughout Vienna's museums.
