Brandishing a sword for the Opera House. Next to the imposing white edifice on Ringstrasse street skirting Graz city centre, the “Lichtschwert” sculpture stands for the protection of human rights. At the same time, it stands in agitating contrast with the neighbouring Opera House and is proof of the city’s cultural awareness. Formerly the city theatre, the Opera House itself is now a splendid stage for breathtaking productions in Graz ranging from musical theatre to ballet.

In brilliant white the bride steps into the square before Rathaus town hall in a cascade of flowers and rice. Just across, a lively hip-hop show. The market stalls offer juices and sausages with mustard – scenes from the heart of the city, the Hauptplatz of Graz, cradled among magnificent buildings crowned by the town hall of Graz. It’s an impressive backdrop for the city’s colourful bustle and focal point for visitors and residents alike. From here you can reach all of the attractions of Graz in a jiffy.

谷物市场上的 Madonna 雕像是在选帝侯卡尔·菲利普重新进行天主教化的过程中建造的。 谷物市场的 Madonna 由彼得·冯·登·布兰登 (Peter von den Branden) 于 1718 年创作，被认为是海德堡最美丽的巴洛克式雕像。 谷物市场的西面矗立着富丽堂皇的 Palais Prince Carl，1788 年，它还只是一家小旅馆，到 1915 年成为海德堡领先的酒店之一，如今已成为拥有华丽镜面大厅的活动场所，在最东角，是法国格莱姆贝格伯爵 (Count de Graimberg) 的淡黄色宅邸。 格莱姆贝格伯爵凭借自己的意志和不懈的努力，成为了城堡的保护者和城市艺术收藏的创始人。 格莱姆贝格于 1864 年去世，他在自己的一生中实现了保护城堡的梦想。
