Ø Stephansdom—St. Stephen's Cathedral
The most important religious building in Vienna, St. Stephen's Cathedral has borne witness to many important events in Habsburg and Austrian history and has, with its multi-coloured tile roof, become one of the city's most recognizable symbols.
A memorial tablet (near location SJC on the Plan below) gives a detailed account of Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart's relationship with the cathedral, including the fact that he had been appointed an adjunct music director here shortly before his death. This was his parish church when he lived at the "Figaro House" and he was married here, two of his children were baptised here, and his funeral was held in the Chapel of the Cross (at location PES) inside.
Ø Wiener Zentralfriedhof
The Zentralfriedhof (German for "Central Cemetery") is one of the largest cemeteries in the world, largest by number of interred in Europe and most famous cemetery among Vienna's nearly 50 cemeteries.
Vienna is a city of music since time immemorial, and the municipality expressed gratitude to composers by granting them monumental tombs. There is a cenotaph honours Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart. I want to pay my respect to this great composer and thanks him for bringing such influence into the music world. By looking at his tomb, I finally realized that people can come and go, but, music never sleeps.
