Vergilius Chapel, Medieval chapel in Innere Stadt, Austria
The Vergilius Chapel extends underground near St. Stephen's Cathedral, featuring six niches within its rectangular structure measuring 6 by 10 meters.
The chapel dates from the early 13th century during Frederick the Warlike's reign, constructed between 1230 and 1246 as part of the last Babenberg Duke's initiatives.
The chapel contains medieval murals and Celtic crosses placed in niches, representing architectural elements from the Gothic period in Vienna.
The entrance to Vergilius Chapel is located directly through the Stephansplatz metro station, with tickets available for 5 euros from Tuesday to Sunday.
The chapel sits 12 meters beneath modern street level and was rediscovered in 1973 during the construction of Vienna's underground railway system.
