Virgil of Salzburg

Salzburg’s basilica is a landmark in the city— regardless of your beliefs, it is impossible to visit without exploring this great architectural gem. Gracefully crowned by a bulbous copper dome and twin spires, the Salzburg Cathedral (“Dom zu Salzburg” in German) stands out as a masterpiece of early baroque art. Situated in the heart of the historic center, it has been rebuilt three times over the centuries after suffering no less than ten fires. This grand structure still bears witness to the power of Salzburg’s archbishops today.
