MARIA-THERESIEN-STRASSE (German: Maria-Theresien-Straße) is an outdoor medieval street in the City of Inssbruck, Tirol, Austria, and it was built in honor of Empress Maria Theresa of Austria, who reigned in the late eighteenth century. However, the street was founded approximately 700 years ago, when it was only inhabited by a few farm houses and it was outside of the Old Town's great medieval walls. This Urban Placemaking project is a fantastic opportunity to visit a modernized medieval site, enjoy the local gastronomy of the Tirol region, and meet other people.
