The towns Concert Hall is situated on the Franz Josef Square.
There ecxists a long tradition of music in this town and its citizens are real music lovers. In case of attractive concert, and not only, you cannot get the ticket coz the most of the concerts are sold-out.

The emperor Franz Josef was the greatest ever emperors of the Hapsburg family. He succseded in making so called K und K monarchy one of the most powerfull states in Europe and the rest of the world. K und K monarchy ruled over the whole of the Central European territory.
Most of the Austrians admire this emperor even today being very pround on his great both political and cultural achivements.

Local Customs: The Ottomans rule

In a very short period the town of Graz was under the Ottomans rule. Their main goal was to conquest Vienna, but with no succes at all. Not many traces of the Ottoman's rule can be seen in Graz today, this well in Schlossberg is one of the rare examples.
I do not remember whos statue represent this monument, probably one of the Ottomans sultans or generals.

There are two things in Graz which remind me a lot to my hometown of Zagreb, first is the ancient name of Gradec, which is identical to ancient name of the Upper Town in Zagreb, and second is the local theatre which, as the one in my hometown, was designed by the Vienese architects Hellmer and Fellner. It seems to me that this two guys have had only one matrix for the theatre buildings. So far I have seen their theatre buildings in Zagreb, Rijeka, Vienna and this one in Graz and all of them look like a twince. As far as I know, there are more of a kind in some other Central European cities.
