The city tower in Innsbruck is a prominent landmark in the old town.

St. James' Cathedral, Innsbruck The Innsbruck Cathedral – as St. James' Cathedral is often called – was first mentioned in 1180. Since then, it has risen majestically above the rooftops of Innsbruck and has been part of the most important medieval Christian pilgrimage – the Way of St. James. Severely damaged by an earthquake in the 16th and 17th centuries, the cathedral complex was rebuilt between 1717 and 1724. The famous German painter Albrecht Dürer also admired the impressive appearance of this important sacred building and immortalized it in a famous watercolor. Home of Important Works of Art Today, the cathedral's unmistakable bell ringing draws visitors from all over the world to its magnificent rooms. There, High Baroque ceiling frescoes by Cosmas Damian Asam depict scenes from the life of St. James. The Munich aegis Quirin Asam created a unique setting with his characteristic stucco work from that period. The highlight is the important work of art by Lucas Cranach the Elder – the miraculous image "Maria Hilf" (Our Lady of Help) became the most popular image of the Virgin Mary in the Alps and was copied numerous times throughout the world. Originally from Dresden, it was presented to Innsbruck Cathedral as a gift from Archduke Leopold V in 1650. In the left wing, the tomb of Archduke Maximilian III can be admired. This much-praised bronze work, created by Hubert Gerhard and his student Caspar Gras, was cast by Heinrich Reinhard around 1619. Rulers and canonesses enjoyed the best view of the church's spectacular interior from the galleries in the choir, which are directly connected to the adjacent Hofburg Palace. Sacred Sounds Fill Innsbruck In addition to the organ in the west gallery, which has 3,729 pipes and 57 registers, the Mariahilfer Bell also rings. The second-largest bell in Tyrol, from the historic Grassmayr bell foundry in Innsbruck, was cast in 1846. The Innsbruck Peace Carillon can be heard every day at noon. It comprises 57 bells, is the largest carillon in Austria, and weighs over 4,100 kilograms. Seven additional bells from Grassmayr are located in the south tower.
