Vienna’s Imperial Palace<\/strong>, the Hofburg<\/em>, has been the center of Austrian power<\/strong> for more than six centuries. It was in fact the residence of the Habsburgs<\/strong>, one of Europe’s most important royal families that throughout the history occupied the throne of the Holy Roman Empire<\/strong> and territories that today correspond to nations such as Italy, Hungary, Spain and Portugal.<\/p>\n

Among the places of interest that can be visited in the Hofburg is the Imperial Treasury<\/em><\/strong><\/span><\/a>, a symbol of the power the Habsburgs had in Europe<\/strong> for more than a thousand years.<\/p>\n

The rooms hold the main collection of medieval royal objects<\/strong>: crowns, banners, sacred vestments, jewelry, priceless artifacts and some “curious” items related to the unicorn and even the Holy Grail<\/strong>.<\/p>\n
