#Fortress Hohensalzburg at #Moenchsberg 34
# Erected at the behest of the Prince-Archbishops of Salzburg with a length of 250 m (820 ft) and a width of 150 m (490 ft), it is one of the largest medieval castles in Europe.

#Collegiate Church of Saint Peter at #Sankt-Peter-Bezirk 1
# It is considered one of the oldest monasteries in the German-speaking area, and in fact the oldest with a continuous history since its foundation in 696.

#Franciscan Monastery at #Franziskanergasse 5
# Architecturally, it consists of two parts: the original Romanesque nave of the basilica and the delicate Late Gothic chancel with star-ribbed vaulting which adjoins it.

#Cathedral at #Domplatz 1a
# In the seventeenth century, the cathedral was completely rebuilt in the Baroque style under Prince-Bishop Wolf Dietrich von Raitenau to its present appearance. Salzburg Cathedral still contains the baptismal font in which composer Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart was baptized.

#Residenz Palace at #Residenzplatz 9
# First mentioned about 1120, for centuries the Prince-Archbishops of Salzburg resided at the Residenz and used the palace to present and represent their political status.

#Old Marketplace at #Alter Markt
# The square is enclosed by a row of stately town houses, whose core often dates back to the Middle Ages.
