PhotoHunt - School

One of the beautiful school buildings I came across in Austria is the Vienna University of Technology. It's not only impressive, it is among the most successful technical schools across Europe and is Austria’s largest scientific technical research and educational institution.

Walking around the building, I couldn't help but be captivated by the statues on the roof. Quite a few locations in Europe had these similar kinds of architecture. I bet the inner courtyard is equally fabulous too.

  21. Famouse, not because of the fabulous Architecture, but mostly from it's high class education and results
