Stallhof, Renaissance tournament ground in Old Town, Dresden, Germany
The Stallhof contains a 102-meter arcade gallery with Tuscan columns and features two bronze tournament columns designed by Giovanni Maria Nosseni.
Built between 1586 and 1591 under Elector Christian I, the complex served as a venue for equestrian tournaments, hunts, and jousting competitions.
The exterior wall displays the Fürstenzug, a historical procession created with 25,000 Meissen porcelain tiles depicting Saxon rulers and notable figures.
Visitors can access the venue daily from 8:00 AM to 8:00 PM, exploring both the ground-level courtyard and the upper floor gallery.
The structure remains one of the oldest preserved tournament grounds maintaining its original Renaissance design, connecting the Georgium building with the Johanneum.
