From the main square, head uphill towards the castle museum. Here, the history of the city of Linz can be traced back to Roman times. The path leads past St. Martin`s Church to the park, where the Franz-Josef-Warte is located with a magnificent panoramic view. The stupa (Buddhist building) and the former Jesuit monastery, whose annexes now house the Aloisianum grammar school, are also worthy of note along the way.
