The Hohensalzburg Fortress is the landmark of the city of Salzburg. It is located on a mountain above the city, the Festungsberg, which continues to the northwest into the Mönchsberg. The foothill in the east of the fortress mountain is called Nonnberg, on which the Benedictine women's monastery Nonnberg is located directly below the eastern exterior of the fortress - the Nonnbergbasteien. The Hohensalzburg Fortress is one of the largest castle complexes in Europe with over 7,000 m² of built-up area.
