The construction of the Ringstrasse in Vienna began after the city's inner ramparts were razed and the surrounding ditches were filled in starting in 1857. The grand circular road was subsequently opened in 1865. Following its opening, the various stately public buildings and parks that line the avenue were developed over the subsequent years.1
