Äußeres Burgtor, Military monument at Maria Theresien Platz, Austria.
The Äußeres Burgtor features three grand stone arches forming a monumental entrance gate to the Hofburg complex in central Vienna.
Built in 1821, this triumphal arch commemorates Austrian military victories against Napoleon and later became a memorial for soldiers of World War I.
The stone inscriptions on both sides of the gate honor Franz I and fallen soldiers, representing a lasting testament to Austrian military heritage.
The gate stands at the intersection of Heldenplatz and Ringstrasse, providing access to major museums and the Austrian National Library.
The interior spaces of the gate contain a crypt and memorial halls added in the 1930s to honor military casualties and resistance fighters.
