Salzburg Cathedral

Salzburg Cathedral, the city's first church, was first built in 744. In 1598, it was burnt down, so the archbishop ordered it to be rebuilt in the Baroque style, designed by an Italian architect. It was completed 30 years later. In front of the church are statues of St. Rupert, St. Virgil, St. Peter and St. Paul, and the interior of the church is beautifully decorated. This cathedral is considered the largest in the city, accommodating up to 10,000 people at a time. It is a place of faith for Christians because it is the place where St. Rupert's remains are kept. #SalzburgCathedral #salzburg #austria
