Maria Theresa Street

Maria Theresa Street is home to some of the most interesting monuments in Innsbruck.

First, the Arc de Triomphe is one of the most famous sights of the city, built in 1765 in honor of the wedding of Maria Theresa's son. It recalls not only a merry event in the family of the Archduchess, but also the tragedy of the death of Emperor Franz I. The arch is located at the south end of Maria Theresa Street.

Secondly, the column of St. Anne, which is installed in the middle of the street. The column was built in 1706, so the Tyroleans thanked their deliverer. At the very top of the column was installed a statue of the Virgin Mary the Savior, and surrounded by statues of St. Anne, St. Cassian, St. Vigilius and St. George.
