Heldenplatz - Eugene of Savoy Statue

You may recall my post on the fake-brick shells erected around the two statues on Heldenplatz earlier this year.

The shells were removed in May.

These pictures are of the Franz-Eugen, Prinz von Savoyen-Carignan statue, just in front of the Hofburg Imperial Palace.

Eugene of Savoy, as he is known in English, was born in France, but served as a general in Austria's army during the late 17th century.

Prince Eugene built and inhabited the Belvedere Palace, also in Vienna.
