The Spanish Hall, erected between 1569 and 1572 according to the concepts of Archduke Ferdinand II, is impressive with its imposing dimensions of 43 metres in length and 13 metres in width. The painted decoration of the room is defined by 27 full-length portraits of the Tyrolean Counts. The series begins in the eastern corner with Count Albert I of Tyrol, continues with the Counts of Gorizia-Tyrol and Margaret Maultausch, followed by the Habsburgs and ultimately the lord of the household of Ambras himself: Archduke Ferdinand II.
