Hall in Tirol - Old Town Altstadt
The center of Hall in Tirol's picturesque Old Town (Altstadt), higher up, is the Oberer Stadtplatz. Here stands the medieval Rathaus, in which the fine Council Chamber (1477; beamed ceiling) and the Mayor's Parlor (1660; panelled are open to visitors).
The parish church, standing on a terrace, is basically Late Gothic, with a Roccoco interior (1752). In the north aisle the Waldauf Chapel (c. 1500), enclosed by a fine screen, houses a remarkable collection of relics collected by the knight Florian Waldauf von Waldenstein.
