Virgilkapelle

Vergilius Chapel

A 13th-century subterranean chapel beneath the former Chapel of St Mary Magdalene (no longer standing, but outlines have been traced on the pavement directly south of Stephansdom). This chapel served as the tomb for a wealthy Viennese family and was completely forgotten until construction of the underground in 1975. A portion of it can be viewed for free from a window in the U-Bahn station.
