Graz is a small but very beautiful city. It is no wonder it is considered a World Heritage Site by UNESCO. I find it similar to many European towns and cities which have been able to preserve its architecture despite the passage of time and the World Wars which have in many instances devastated many otherwise picturesque places in Europe.

It was today, my first full day, here did I realize how religiously many of the buildings have been decorated. Colorful they certainly are, but the presence of statues of the Virgin Mary and other saints tucked in one corner or side of the buildings are bound to catch any visitor's attention.
