    The statue at the top of the fountain column represents Saint Florian and was created as the youngest part of today's fountain in 1734 by Josef Anton Paffinger. Saint Florian, patron saint of the fire department, was and is particularly popular as a fountain figure. Until around 1800, the Floriani Fountain was the center of the annual Metzgersprung, which always took place on Ash Wednesday. Here the trained butcher apprentices were ceremoniously declared to be free journeymen butchers after they had “washed themselves clean of their sins” in the well.

      The old market was built in the mid to late 13th century. As the name suggests, it has always been intended as a marketplace and sales place. Nowadays, the market activity has moved to Universitätsplatz - hence the name Alter Markt. Nowadays, there are still shopping opportunities on the Old Market that you shouldn't miss.

        The weather station on the Alter Markt was built in 1888 by the Salzburg City Association for the people of Salzburg. It is one of the listed objects in the city of Salzburg.
