The Greek and Old University Quarter: Vienna's Oldest Suburb behind St. Stephen's Cathedral
|
|
| Tucked away between the Danube Canal and St. Stephen’s Cathedral lies one of Vienna’s most enchanting and historic districts — known variously as the Greek Quarter, the Jesuit Quarter, or the Old University Quarter. This atmospheric part of the Old Town reveals a wealth of hidden treasures. Many of its narrow, cobblestoned lanes still follow their medieval paths, and the secluded courtyards and winding alleys seem to whisper stories from centuries past. Among the highlights is the magnificent Jesuit Church, a 17th-century baroque masterpiece, built at a time when this neighbourhood was home to one of Central Europe’s oldest and most prestigious universities. Today, the area continues to captivate visitors with its unique blend of history, architecture, and timeless Viennese charm. |
