Good morning, folks.

While in Vienna there are house numbers as in most of the world, that wasn't the case before 1770, when this system was introduced. Prior, there were house names. If you spot all kinds of sculptures, paintings and other distinctive elements on the facades, they're not only for aesthetics, but they also used to be a necessity.

Have a beautiful Sunday!
