Tyrol (German: Tirol) is a historical region in the heart of the Alps. It consists of North, East and South Tyrol. North and East Tyrol together make up the Austrian federal-state of Tyrol with its capital in Innsbruck. South Tyrol, despite its German speaking majority, has been part of Italy since the end of World War I. It makes up the northern portion of the alpine Italian province Trentino-Alto Adige with its capital in Bolzano (Italian) or Bozen (German).
