    Next to the palace is the imposing and photogenic Pegasus Fountain. It's particularly popular with fans of the film "The Sound of Music," as the "Do-Re-Mi" song was recorded right here in front of the fountain in 1965.

    Pegasus Fountain in the Mirabell Gardens, Salzburg, 1661
    The copper Pegasus was originally crafted in 1661 for the horse trough on Kapitelplatz. Around 1700, it was moved to the horse trough on Mirabellplatz. After the city fire of 1818, the sculpture disappeared into storage for decades. In 1913, it was reinstalled in a fountain basin on Mirabellplatz.
