- Abstract
The Habsburg Monarchy was a specific state compared to other European countries. It resulted mainly from the number of nations that inhabited the empire, and which influenced its final shape. The recollection of the Austrian reign in Galicia was and still is not pejorative as the devices and legal solutions of that time are doing well. Preserved monuments of legal culture show the main trends of transformations, changes and, finally, state modernization of the Habsburg Monarchy. These are buildings of judicial jurisdiction, such as courts, prisons, rural arrests, administration signs (including road signs and equipment), measures of weights, units of length, places of toll collection, and administration buildings, like district offices; new spaces of communication, e.g. markets of the cities founded by Austria; symbols of power, such as border posts, thrones, heraldry of Galicia and the Habsburg Monarchy, and, finally, the seat of local parliaments.
