Vienna - Central Area
(Local Name: Innere Stadt) A popular pedestrian precinct in front of St Stephen's Cathedral, forms the central point of the inner city. The whole area was redesigned after the construction of the Underground, when a Romanesque chapel forming part of an old cemetary was also brought to light; under the basement (used as a charnel house) lay a further subterranean vault, the Chapel of St Virgil. Some interesting houses surround the Stephansplatz, such as the Domherrenhof (Canon's Residence) at No. 5 and the Erzbischöfliches Palais (Archbishop's Palace) at No. 7.
