The photo shows Heroes' Square (a.k.a. Heldenplatz) with the statue of Archduke Charles in Vienna, Austria. Heldenplatz is a large square in front of the Hofburg Palace. The Hofburg Palace was the winter residence of the House of Habsburg (a.k.a. House of Austria), but nowadays this place is the official residence of the President of Austria. Come to think of it, some short while later of visiting Heldenplatz, I visited Heroes' Square (Hungarian: Hősök tere) in Budapest, Hungary. I posted a picture of Hungarian Heroes' Square on February 13, 2011.
