The Rod of Asclepius is a staff wrapped around a snake and is also known as a snake staff. Originally it was an attribute of Asclepius, the god of medicine in Greek mythology.

Wels Imperial Castle is a palace-like fortress located southeast of Wels's city center. Dating back to the Middle Ages, it was owned by the Babenbergs and the Habsburgs, among others. The building is now owned by the city and houses the Wels City Museum and the Museum of Expellees. Opening Hours Tuesday to Friday 10:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. | Saturday 2:00 p.m. to 5:00 p.m. Sunday and Public Holidays 10:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. The castle was first mentioned in 776 in connection with the Wels settlement "Castrum Uueles." The castle was originally a wooden structure with palisades and was only rebuilt from stone in the 12th or 13th century. At the end of the 12th century, it was pledged to Leopold VI of Babenberg, Duke of Austria, and was subsequently purchased by him in 1222. After the Babenbergs died out, the castle came into the possession of the Habsburgs. Under Emperor Maximilian I, who died there on January 12, 1519, the castle was rebuilt in the late Gothic style from 1508 to 1514. In 1653, the Holy Roman Emperor Ferdinand IV donated the castle to Prince Johann Weikhard von Auersperg. In 1865, the Auersperg family sold the castle to Ludwig Hinterschweiger, a Schmalz-seed producer who had the east wing added. Around 1900, it came into the possession of the Blaimschein family, and in 1937, the building was acquired by the city of Wels.

The town square in Wels forms the historical and social heart of the city. It is one of the largest and most beautiful market squares in Austria, impressing visitors with its long, gently curving shape and the continuous rows of colorful townhouses from the Gothic, Renaissance, and Baroque periods. Originally, the town square featured two fountains, erected in the 16th century. The upper fountain had a fountain figure created by the Linz sculptor Hans Püchler, depicting a knight with a flag and shield bearing the city's coat of arms. The fountain that stands today opposite the town hall is a replica of the 16th-century Renaissance fountain, which was demolished in 1896.
