Peterskirche
Austria
Walk along the Graben and look up the Habsburgergasse where it cuts across the pedestrian zone: the street runs straight at the main façade of St. Peter, standing on its own small square just north-east of the Plague Column. The building you see was finished and consecrated in 1733, but it replaces something far older. The first church dedicated to the Apostle Peter is said to have been made from a barracks building of the Roman camp of Vindobona in the second half of the fourth century, which would make it the oldest church and parish in Vienna. Nothing of it remains visible above ground.
