The Famous Golden Roof

One of the famous landmarks in Innsbruck, Austria is the Golden Roof. The Golden Roof was a symbol for the old centre of Europe and a reflection of inconsistencies in times of great change. Sumptuously decorated with 2,657 fire-gilded copper tiles, all still original, it forms the roof of an alcove balcony that the great Emperor Maximilian I had added to the existing “Neuhof” building around 1500. The Emperor and his wife used the balcony to observe festivals, tournaments, and other events that took place in the square below. #GoldenRoof #innsbruck #austria #europe #landmark #travel #diasfamilyadventures
