Emperor Franz I
was Emperor of Austria, King of Hungary, and the ruler of the other states of the Habsburg monarchy from 2 December 1848 until his death in 1916.[1] In the early part of his reign, his realms and territories were referred to as the Austrian Empire, but were reconstituted as the dual monarchy of the Austro-Hungarian Empire in 1867. From 1 May 1850 to 24 August 1866, he was also president of the German Confederation.

Visited here last January 2024 in a cold winter afternoon...but the sky was already dark.
Well, the statues are impressive that sits in the Innerer Burghof courtyard.
Emperor Franz I statue is located at the center of surrounded by 4 ladies.
Under his statue, there is a description and it says : Amorem Mevm Popvlis Meis (I Love Myself with My People)
Hoping the city of Vienna especially the Tourism sector could fix and clean the statues cause the stains are visible.
It is 24/7 and free entrance.

Not very crowded. Good photo opportunities.

Nice statue on the property of the imperial palace (The Hofburg). There is a big square around the statue. We saw this statue before visiting the Sisi Museum, which is adjacent to it.

I came across this incredible sculpture located in the inner courtyard of the Hofburg while walking the streets of Vienna. This stunning sculpture is surrounded by historical buildings and a beautiful plaza area and architecture. The four statues at the base represent religion peace justice and strength.

Another stunning statue set in the middle of a beautiful plaza surrounded by the historical buildings.

There is an impressive monument in the small courtyard at the Hapsburg Palace that is worth viewing when passing through the palace grounds between Michaelerplatz and Heldenplatz

This is a large scale monument and the works of Italian sculptor Pompeo Marchesi in 1846. Here you find Francis II, the last Holy Roman Emperor whose reign lasted from 1792 to 1806, standing in robe with sceptre in his left hand. His right hand is pointing to the right as if he is addressing a crowd in that direction.

The monument is standing upon a pedestal covered with bas reliefs. There are also four different bronze figures depicting moral virtues of religion, peace, justice and strength that surround the Kaiser Franz statue.

This is a nice monument to see for those who enjoy this type of sightseeing during their travels.
