Beautiful view of the city and fortress

A truly beautiful view & perspective

Mozartplatz & Mozart Monument, Salzburg Mozartplatz is located in the center of Salzburg's old town, in the immediate vicinity of Residenzplatz and Salzburg Cathedral. While the buildings around the square tell many stories, the centerpiece is clearly the Mozart statue. The history of the Mozart statue In the center of Mozartplatz is the Mozart monument by Ludwig Schwanthaler. The statue was supposed to be erected in 1841 on the 50th anniversary of W. A. Mozart's death. However, the unveiling of the monument was delayed by a year because a Roman mosaic was found in the ground, which took a long time to recover. On September 4, 1842, the statue was ceremoniously unveiled in the presence of Mozart's sons. The Bavarian King Ludwig I was an important supporter of the Mozart statue and donated the marble base. A copy of the Roman mosaic can still be found at the feet of the statue today. Mozartplatz then and now Mozartplatz and its buildings are closely linked to the history of the city of Salzburg. On the north side, in the so-called Imhofstöckl (No. 5), is the tourist information office. Behind it is part of the old city wall, which dates back to the time of Prince Archbishop Paris Lodron. Opposite, on the south side, is the New Residence, which has been home to the Salzburg Museum since 2007. The house at Mozartplatz 8 was the home of Constanze Mozart-Nissen, Mozart's widow. On the west side, facing the cathedral, are the Salzburg Christmas Museum and the famous Café Glockenspiel. The poet Georg Trakl was born just a few steps away in 1887.

Orangery in the Mirabell Gardens, Mirabell Palace, Salzburg The Orangery in the Mirabell Gardens is more of an insider tip. It is located in the southern part of Mirabell Palace. The palm house was built around 1725 next to the large garden parterre. The name Orangery comes from the time when orange trees and exotic ornamental woods were still being cultivated. Precious, non-hardy plants were brought back to the Orangery to overwinter. Orange trees were seen as a metaphor for wealth in the Baroque period and for this reason were a must even then. The eastern part of the Orangery was used for other purposes after the Second World War and was not put back together again until 1980. The Baroque Museum is now located in the southern part of the Orangery. Today, in the northern part of the building, somewhat hidden, there is a small, beautiful tropical garden. A small pool with turtles and goldfish and for bird lovers there is a very large birdcage with numerous birds to marvel at. Opening hours of the Orangery in the Mirabell Gardens Open all year round, daily from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. Text / Source: Salzburger Saalachtal. com https://www.salzburger-saalachtal.com/ausflugsziele/stadt-salzburg/mirabellgarten/orangerie-mirabellgarten

Mirabell Gardens & Mirabell Park (Mirabell Palace), Salzburg The world-famous Mirabell Gardens were laid out along a north-south axis and are oriented towards Salzburg Cathedral and Hohensalzburg Fortress. The original gardens were designed by Johann Bernhard Fischer von Erlach in 1689, commissioned by Prince-Archbishop Johann Ernst Count von Thun. In 1730, the gardens were significantly altered, with Franz Anton Danreiter responsible for the new plans. Even at this time, the "Mirabell Gardens" were known as one of the most beautiful parks in Europe. In the 19th century, the Mirabell Gardens underwent another major transformation, this time resulting in the destruction of parts of the garden. This included the original Dwarf Garden in its 18th-century form, some arcades facing Mirabellplatz, and the so-called Sala Terena northwest of Mirabell Palace. The "Grand Parterre" is not only the largest enclosed section of the Mirabell Gardens but is also one of its oldest parts. If you enter the Mirabell Gardens from the Market Square, you will encounter two pairs of Borghese swordsmen on the Grand Parterre. The inner pair is by A. Götzinger, the outer pair by M. B. Mandl; both pairs were created in the 17th century. Text / Source: TSG Tourismus Salzburg GmbH, Auerspergstraße 6, Salzburg https://visit-salzburg.net/deutsch/sehenswuerdig/mirabellgarten.htm

Mirabell Palace, Salzburg The Baroque Mirabell Palace was originally built as "Altenau Palace" under the reign of Prince Archbishop Wolf Dietrich von Raitenau in 1606. The palace was created as a gift for Salome Alt, the archbishop's concubine and mother of his children. Mirabell Palace is known for its gardens, which are discussed in a separate article. Wolf Dietrich's successor and adversary, Prince Archbishop Markus Sittikus, renamed the building Mirabell Palace. Prince Archbishop Franz Anton Harrach had large sections of the building demolished and rebuilt between 1721 and 1727 according to plans by Johann Lukas von Hildebrandt. Mirabell Palace was severely damaged by the great city fire of 1818 and rebuilt in the following years according to plans by Peter Nobile. The formerly dominant tower on the east wing of the palace was destroyed, and the facade was rebuilt in the Neoclassical style.
