The scene
What happened at Palais Pallavicini
Holly Martins arrives at Harry’s building on Josefsplatz only to learn his friend has just been killed in a traffic accident outside. The witnesses’ stories don’t match.
The famous doorway where a cat finds Harry and a light reveals his face is a short walk away, at Schreyvogelgasse 8.
Then & Now
On location today
The palace faces the square with the Austrian National Library’s State Hall. The square looks almost unchanged.
