Salzburg Cathedral

Admission is free, but donations are possible. A look inside the cathedral is definitely worth it. The walls, columns and ceiling have stucco work with many beautifully crafted details.

Among the numerous churches in Salzburg, the cathedral is the most important sacred building. With its mighty dome and two towers, it impressively shapes the cityscape. The Salzburg Cathedral is an impressive monumental building of the early Baroque period. Visitors are greeted by the magnificent main façade made of Untersberg marble. Four monumental statues look down from it: the apostles Peter and Paul with key and sword, and the two patron saints Rupert and Virgil with salt barrel and church model. The two coats of arms on the gable refer to the two builders of the cathedral, Markus Sittikus and Paris Lodron. The cathedral square with the Marian column forms the atrium - and every year is the backdrop for the Everyman of the Salzburg Festival and the popular Christmas market.
