World cultural heritage Salzburg

Salzburg is not only rich in sights, the city on the Salzach River also has a long history as a metropolis of art and culture. The cultural heritage of the baroque city has its origins in the lively exchange with its southern neighbors. Craftsmen and artists were drawn to Salzburg early on. Many of the baroque buildings, such as Salzburg Cathedral, were designed by Italian architects. It is not for nothing that Salzburg is known as the “Rome of the North”. The sacred buildings enchant visitors from all over the world with their baroque beauty. The town houses from the Middle Ages and the spacious, Italianate squares are also beautiful to look at.
