A sight tucked in Innsbruck in between the narrow, stunning streets in the well-preserved square in Innsbruck’s medieval old town is the 57-meter high Stadtturm, or the City Tower. It was used as a watchtower where officers on duty kept an eye out for fires in the city. In the past the lower floors of the tower also served as a prison. Adjacent to the 15th-century watchtower is the Old Town Hall from 1358 which housed the city authorities right until 1897. Its façade is ornamented with a relief of Innsbruck’s coat of arms.
