Am Hof is the largest square in the city. It is the former site of Roman camps and medieval jousting tournaments. It is lined with historic buildings and monuments, including the Märiensaule (Column of Our Lady), which dates from the 17th century; the palatial 18th century Markleinisches Haus; the Burgerliche Zeughaus, which is the old citizen's armory; and the Collalto Palace, where the six year old Mozart made his first public appearance.
