Karlskirche is a Baroque church in the Karlsplatz in Vienna. The church is dedicated to Saint Charles Borromeo, a leading figure of the Counter-Reformation. The church is located on the border of Wieden and the Innere Stadt, the city centre. The mighty green dome of the radiant Karlskirche towers over Karlsplatz. It is one of the most important sacred buildings in Central Europe and a symbol of Vienna. Inside, the marble look dominates with red and gold accents. In the vestibule is a 2,47 meter-tall model of the church, which faithfully presents the details of both the interior and the imposing façade.
