The Hofburg Palace in Vienna has been the home to ruling families and elected leaders of this country since 1279. Currently, Austria’s president resides in this massive complex of “wings,” which includes the National Library, the Imperial Treasury and the Spanish Riding School. Construction of the palace stretched from the 13th to the 20th centuries, making it one of the most architecturally diverse buildings in Europe.
