The Emperor’s Hall, located in the Munich Residence, is one of the most important ceremonial rooms in the palace. Built at the beginning of the 17th century, it stands out for its exquisite iconographic program, which includes historical tapestries and friezes that represent virtues of antiquity to exalt good governance. It is located in the largest urban palace in Germany, located in the heart of the city.
