St Anne’s Column

St Anne’s Column (Annasäule) anchors Innsbruck’s Maria-Theresien-Straße with Baroque elegance and Tyrolean history. Erected in 1706 to mark the liberation of Tyrol from Bavarian forces on St Anne’s Day, it features a red marble pillar topped by St Mary and statues of local patron saints at its base. The pedestrianized setting offers clear mountain views, cafes, and shops, making it an easy stop while exploring the Old Town. Visit for a quick dose of history, photogenic cityscapes, and context about Tyrol’s identity—best combined with nearby attractions like the Golden Roof and the Triumphal Arch.
