Goldenes Dachl (Golden Roof) in Innsbruck, Austria

The Goldenes Dachl (Golden Roof) is a landmark structure located in the Old Town (Altstadt) section of Innsbruck, Austria. It is considered the city's most famous symbol.[1] Completed in 1500, the roof was decorated with 2,657 fire-gilded copper tiles for Emperor Maximilian I to mark his wedding to Bianca Maria Sforza.[1][2][3] The Emperor and his wife used the balcony to observe festivals, tournaments, and other events that took place in the square below.[1][2][3]
