| Mariatrost Basilica. I went to mass here last Sunday. Interestingly enough, in one of the side rooms was an exhibit on scientific discoveries concerning DNA, evolution, the big bang... Couldn't understand much of the actual content, but I was impressed! |
 |
 |
| The basilica was amazingly ornate, and the entire ceiling was covered in paintings. |
 |
 |
| Near the basilica. This place definitely belongs on a postcard! |
 |
| Schlossberg, the mountain in the middle of Graz. |
 |
| The most famous landmark of Graz, the Schlossberg clock tower. |

| We didn't realize there was so much on Schlossberg, but there are several restaurants, a bunch of ruins whose historical significance I already forget, and these canons. |
 |

 |
| The strange building is Kunsthaus, the "friendly alien," museum of modern art. |
