Note: "St. Anne´s Column (German: Annasäule) stands in the city centre of Innsbruck on Maria-Theresien-Straße.

It was given its name when, in 1703, the last Bavarian troops were driven from the Tyrol on St. Anne´s Day (26 July), as part of the War of the Spanish Succession. In 1704, in gratitude, the Landstände vowed to build a monument commemorating the event.

The column was made by Trient sculptor, Cristoforo Benedetti, from red Kramsach marble. On the base are four statues of saints:

in the north, Saint Anne, the mother of the Blessed Virgin Maryin the west, Cassian, patron saint of the Diocese of Bozen-Brixen.in the east, Vigilius, patron saint of the Diocese of Trient.in the south, Saint George with dragon and lance, then and since 2006, patron saint (now together with Saint Joseph)Towering above these four statues is the column with its statue of Mary as the Woman of the Apocalypse." - (en.wikipedia.org 12.08.2020)
