Introduction
The Goldenes Dachl ('little golden roof') is Innsbruck's most famous landmark in Tyrol, Austria, built by Archduke Maximilian I at the close of the 15th century as a court loggia from which he and his consorts watched festivals and tournaments. It is renowned for its three-storey late-Gothic oriel balcony covered with 2,657 fire-gilded copper tiles that shimmer in the sun — a jewel of late-Gothic European architecture. The murals below depict heraldry, dances and Maximilian's retinue, narrating Habsburg power and taste. Today a museum beneath the roof tells the emperor's life, while the golden roof itself remains the instantly recognised symbol of the Alpine city of Innsbruck.
