Stadtgasse and the City Gates

Stadtgasse is the main street of the old town of Brunico and was once the town in its entirety: from gate to gate, burgher houses line up with stepped gables, oriels, wrought-iron window grilles and Gothic portals, while old frescoes have been preserved on some of the façades. At the western entrance stands the Ursulinentor gate, through which merchant traffic once passed. The ground floors are home to family-run shops, cafés and bakeries, making the street the centre of everyday town life to this day.
