The majestic Karlskirche church is located in the southern part of Karlsplatz, on the outskirts of the Inner City, next to the Ringstrasse. The central part of the facade resembles a Greek temple, and the side chapels are stylistically borrowed from the Italian Renaissance. Their roofs look like Chinese pagodas. Roman steles became the prototype of the triumphal columns, but at the same time their silhouettes resemble Muslim minarets. Two figures of angels in front of the entrance symbolize the Old and New Testaments, and four large sculptures on the pediment - four virtues: Repentance, Mercy, Humility and Faith. Karl Borromei, the heavenly patron who saved the city from the plague, and whom Charles VI vowed to build this temple for salvation from the plague in 1713, sits on the throne in the center.
