931 AT - City of Graz - Historic Centre (1999)

Brief Description

"Graz is a particularly fine example of the living heritage of a central European urban complex that was under Habsburg rule for many centuries. The old city is a harmonious blend of the architectural styles and artistic movements that have succeeded each other since the Middle Ages, together with cultural influences from the neighbouring regions."

格拉茨城历史中心
"格拉茨是中欧城市中心的范例,由哈布斯堡王朝(Habsburg)统治了几个世纪。这个古老的城市和谐地融合了自中世纪以来的各种建筑风格和艺术运动的硕果,同时还受到了周边地区的文化影响。"
