Graz, the capital of Styria, Austria, has many famous landmarks. The Schlossberg (or "Castle Hill") is a rocky cone that dominates the city, with the clock tower (1559) and belfry (1588) as prominent features of the landscape.
Other notable buildings include the Renaissance Landhaus, the armoury, the town hall, the 11th-century castle, St. Aegidius Cathedral, and the mausoleum of Ferdinand II. The Kunsthaus, a museum of contemporary art, is a "friendly alien" that stands out from its historic surroundings.
