Salzburg CathedralPlaces to visit in Salzburg - top tips from IMLAUER Hotels & Restaurants
During your stay in Salzburg visit one of the most important examples of early architecture north of the Alps: the Salzburg Cathedral.
Salzburg Cathedral is the largest sacral building in the city. The highly decorated facade and the mighty dome lend Salzburg Cathedral a majestic air. The cathedral has been destroyed, reconstructed, altered and expanded several times. Today the cathedral stands as an impressive witness to the economic and political power of the Salzburg archbishops and the principality of Salzburg.
Salzburg Cathedral is impressive not only for its striking external appearance but invites its visitors to view the interior, which is equally impressive. You will find numerous treasures in this church such as the baptismal font, where Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart was baptised, or the splendid grand organ. There are further cultural treasures galore to be seen in Salzburg Cathedral. There is no doubt that a visit to Salzburg Cathedral is not to be missed during your holiday in Salzburg. In addition, you can explore the cathedral museum of the Salzburg Museum Carolino Augusteum, to find out more about the fascinating history of Salzburg Cathedral.
During the music festivals the impressive facade of Salzburg Cathedral serves as a backdrop for the world famous play "Everyman". The play, written by Hugo von Hofmannsthal, has been on the programme since the start of the Salzburg festival and every year without fail it enthrals visitors from home and abroad.
