The ornate Baroque interior of St. Peter's Church in Vienna, Austria, looking down the nave toward the gilded high altar. The vaulted ceiling is adorned with frescoes and gold stucco, flanked by elaborate side altars with gilded sculptures. Natural light streams through windows in the dome above. Several visitors stand in the pews below
