City of Graz – Historic Centre and Schloss Eggenberg, Medieval urban ensemble in Graz, Austria.

The historic center of Graz contains over 1000 buildings with Gothic, Renaissance, and Baroque architectural elements across narrow streets and passages.

During the Habsburg rule in the 16th century, Graz developed into a fortified residence city with substantial defensive walls and the Schlossberg fortress.

The Landhaus, built in 1557, stands as a central institution for regional government while hosting exhibitions about Styrian history throughout the year.

The Schloss Eggenberg palace opens from April through October, with guided tours in multiple languages running every hour between 10:00 and 16:00.

The astronomical decorations in Schloss Eggenberg include 365 windows, representing days of the year, and 24 state rooms for hours of the day.
