About this audio guide
This guide to the Hofburg in Innsbruck centers on the wedding week of August seventeen sixty-five, when Empress Maria Theresa filled her husband's family palace with fireworks and opera to celebrate their son Leopold's marriage to Maria Luisa of Spain. It follows Emperor Francis the First through that same week, and how his widow reshaped part of the palace afterward. It also reaches back to Maximilian the First, who expanded the Hofburg centuries earlier. Listen for the doorway beside the Giants' Hall.
