Market Street . 2

Feldkirch - Austria

Historic buildings line this famous place, and once James Bond was filmed chasing a villain along here in the movie Quantum of Solace.
The lovely building at the end is a former church originally built in 1218 as a Knights of St. Johns' hospice, and was modified several times in later centuries, and had many uses, including as a salt storage place and horse stables in the 19th century. The tower got its present form during renovations between 1879/84. On the roof is a figure of a knight which since 1510 has hammered on a bell to indicate the time. The fresco on the exterior is of the sermon of St. John the Baptist. The building has been used since 1995 as a venue for contemporary art exhibitions.
