This is safer ground for Phespirit - a middle ages castle, of middling size, in the middle of a middle European town.
The Golden Roof is the best known symbol of Innsbruck. Emperor Maximilian I ordered its construction some time around the year 1500. The 2,657 radiant fire-gilt copper tiles are what make it - and keep it - special.
This is a view of it from the City Tower.
