"Ringstraße", its palaces and other secular public buildings are probably the world's most complete and bes-preserved ensemble of architecture using "historicism" as its style. But the building aren't just using one style of historicism, there are examples of neo-baroque, neo-classicism, neo-renaissance etc.
