Schloss Porcia & Museum für Volkskultur

TIME : 2016/2/18 16:12:46

Boasting an eye-catching Renaissance edifice, Schloss Porcia was built between 1533 and 1597 by the fabulously named Graf von Salamanca-Ortenburg. Inside, Italianate arcades run around a central courtyard used for summer theatre performances. The top floors contain the enormous Local Heritage Museum, which has lots of displays about Carinthia and 3-D projections, such as a virtual navigation through the Hohe Tauern National Park.
