Salzburg Cathedral
Salzburg's cathedral is the largest of the city's 36 churches
and serves as the backdrop for the annual Jedermann Festival. The
first church to be erected on the site dates back to 774 and was
dedicated to St. Virgil and St. Rupert. The building we see today-the
third on the site-was erected in 1620-28 by the architect Santino
Solari and consecrated by Archbishop Paris Lodron, during the chaos of
the Thirty Years' War. Admission is free.
