Within the Schonbrunn Palace complex, you can find this Roman ruins. In visiting this magnificent tourist spot, you will have an experience of "the grandeur that was Rome".
While the structure is not really a ruin from of old, it exudes the best of style in the ancient world. This was a creation of Johann Ferdinand Hetzendorf von Hohenberg and was built in 1778.

All I can say is that, the ruins in its subtle existence completed the picturesque landscape of Schonbrunn Hill. It is a structure which compliments other structures dotting the regal landscape.
