My last stop in Vienna is the
Kapuzinergruft. It's a crypt beneath
Capuchins' church in central Vienna where the remains (
except for their hearts) of the last 500 years of
Hapsburg emperors are interred. Row upon row of giant iron and bronze sarcophagi lie in a series of underground chambers. The last Empress of Austria
Zita of Bourbon-Parma only died in 1989, after 80 years of exile and she too now lies in the crypt

This is something I remember from my childhood, when I went to
school in Vienna (scroll down for the English version) in 1986; and ever since I have wanted to return and take some pictures,
so check out my gallery!
