Austria - Old part of Hall in Tirol

"As indicated by its German name, the town has been closely linked with salt production since medieval times. Great merchants and ship masters, townsmen and craftsmen lived from it. Seat of the sovereign's mint, Hall at times outdid today's provincial capital Innsbruck. The former riches are illustrated by the preserved secular (Castle Hasegg, salt works,hospital,town hall,private houses) and ecclesiastical (parish church, religious institution for ladies) building substance. The original design of the town has hardly been spoiled and is clearly separated from the remaining settlement area by the town wall. A special feature of the old town are the topographically separate entities of an upper and a lower town, each having its own town square. Also notable the revitalised former spa, which is situated to the north of the told town and dates from the times between the wars. It is now used for meetings and events. Hall was one of the first towns to benefit from the facade restoration action. In over 20 building phases it has restored the street zones of almost the entire old town in an exemplary manner."
