Vaduz
Vaduz is the capital of a small European state, the official name of which is the Principality of Liechtenstein. Its territory is located in Central Europe, between Austria and Switzerland.
Vaduz, the current capital of Liechtenstein, was founded in 1342 by order of Prince Hartmann of Swabia. Vaduz's urban areas are located on the right bank of the Rhine near the slopes of the Reticon range. Three Sisters Mountain rises above the city. A fortress castle was built on its peak in the 9th century, which was the residence of Prince Hartmann at that time. The castle has been preserved to this day and is one of the main architectural attractions of Vaduz. Now, in an impregnable fortress with thick walls and narrow loopholes, there is a museum that exhibits ancient knightly equipment, a variety of antique objects and antique items.
The city is surrounded by forested mountain slopes and cultivated areas where gardens grow.
Vaduz's architecture differs little from the traditional cities of the Principality of Liechtenstein. The city has small squares and narrow streets. Most of the houses are one-story or two-story. The walls are made of white stone. The houses are crowned with steep tiled roofs. Almost every house has a well-kept front garden with bright flowers. The same bright flowers grow in the flower pots on the windowsills.
Stedle is the main street of the city. It wraps in a smooth semicircle around the Three Sisters Mountain with a castle at the top. On the main street there is the city hall, the buildings in which the offices of the bank "Bank Liechtenstein", private firms, joint-stock companies, as well as shops, restaurants and museums are located.
Located in the city center, the three-story building houses all of Liechtenstein's main government offices.
In the city center there is also one of the most popular museums in the city - the Liechtenstein National Museum, which is located in the building of a former tavern. The museum's exposition features handicrafts, antique folios, collections of seals, coins, stamps, as well as photographs and antique maps telling about the history of the state.
The art gallery, founded in 1953 by one of the princes of Liechtenstein, is very popular with residents of the city and numerous tourists. The gallery's exposition features art objects, including 1,500 paintings by internationally renowned artists. Only a small part of the paintings is available for direct inspection by visitors. The most valuable paintings are kept in a special storage, and visitors can purchase reproductions of particularly valuable paintings.
The second most visited museum in Vaduz is the Postal Museum, founded in 1930. The museum features exhibits that tell the story of the development of philately, both in Liechtenstein and around the world. The post office located near the museum sells 6-7 new issues of postage stamps several times a year. Revenue from the sale of stamps is a significant source of revenue for the country's budget. Best
