14 landmarks with verified facts and stories
Alter Markt
Alter Markt, 5020 Salzburg
Salzburg's oldest marketplace has been the commercial heart of the city for over seven hundred years, and its compact, irregular shape tells the story of a square that evolved organically from medieval trade rather than being imposed by Baroque architects.
DomQuartier
1 Residenzplatz, Altstadt, Salzburg, 5020, Austria
