Innsbruck is correct. The Hill of Heroes (aka Bergeisel) was the scene of a battle by Tyrolean patriots against the French in 1809 and also, in more recent years, a ski jump and the scene of Olympic Triumphs by Franz Klammer. The Golden Balcony was built to celebrate the marriage of the Emperor Maximillian.

Next question please ...

How about the 'Gulag Archipelago'? No one had heard of it till Solzenhitsen wrote about it.

More seriously, from the wording of your question it would have to be uninhabited, so are we talking arctic circle ?
