Vienna's Skyline: Inspired by an Assassin
Manage episode 444431197 series 3573806
What does an assassination attempt have to do with the height of Vienna's City Hall? More than you’d expect. In this episode, we uncover the strange connection between political violence and architecture, with a surprise appearance from Mexico along the way. Stephen and Carmen agree that, when it comes to underground enclosures, they'd much rather explore a wine cellar than a crypt filled with skulls and bones. And despite what you may think, it turns out the Viennese love bending the rules. Get a glimpse into how these quirks shaped Vienna's skyline—best enjoyed with a glass of wine!
