Annasäule

Annasäule in Innsbruck is a well-known landmark located in a pleasant pedestrian area. The street is lined with beautiful buildings, making it a nice place to walk and take photos. Behind the city, you can clearly see the mountains, which create a lovely backdrop for the column and the surrounding area.

This Baroque marble monument was erected to commemorate Innsbruck’s victory against the Bavarian invasion in 1703 — an event said to have taken place on St. Anne’s Day, July 26, which gave the column its name. At the top stands a statue of the Virgin Mary, while the base features four figures: St. Georg, St. Cassian, St. Vigilius, and St. Anne. Since its completion, it has remained a symbolic focal point of the city’s main street.

Annasäule, or St. Anne’s Column, stands proudly in the middle of Maria-Theresien-Straße, one of Innsbruck’s main boulevards. Erected in 1706, it commemorates the liberation of Tyrol from Bavarian troops on St. Anne’s Day in 1703. The column is made of local red marble, topped with a statue of the Virgin Mary, and surrounded at its base by saints watching over the city. Today, it’s both a historical monument and a central meeting point amid shops, cafés, and the bustle of daily life in Innsbruck.

This square is great for people watching. Buy a gelato and sit around, and you will see people of all races just cooling off and chilling. There's a McDonald's opposite the streets and going down further brings you to the Golden Roof.

a waiter what is a dog. this is insulting, provocative and humiliating to anyone working in the hospitality industry. anyone with a little brains, backbone and influence will sue and win the court case against the company that sold the statue.

This is like on the Main Street at Innsbruck. There are plenty of good restaurants and ice cream shops are there. Hard Rock Cafe is there. Enjoy the drink, crowed and the view.

The central street of the city, which is quite long. It is full of beautiful buildings and interesting shops and restaurants, not all of which are very expensive; indeed, you can also find cheap options. From 26th of December until 6th of January there are some Christmas Markets here, which are few and very expensive!

The old city centre of Innsbruck is very beautiful. I liked this place, the mountains are right next to the city centre, the river. This place is amazing with it’s mind blowing natural view.
