Stadtturm

The Stadtturm rises 51 meters above Innsbruck's center, featuring an octagonal spire and Renaissance-style onion dome with wrought iron dolphin decorations.

Built between 1442 and 1450 as part of the Old Town Hall, the tower served as a watchtower for fire prevention and city monitoring until 1897.

The tower contains a statue of Archduke Sigmund and displays multiple clock faces, including the original timepiece manufactured by Erasmus Melchior in 1603.

Visitors can climb 133 steps to reach the observation platform at 31 meters, offering views of the Inn River, Nordkette mountains, and medieval streets.

The first two floors of the Stadtturm functioned as the city prison during medieval times, with the original barred windows remaining visible today.
