Let the city tell the history
Salzburg: Let the city tell the history.
Salzburg, the oldest historical city within Austria, is a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
A day in Salzburg made me feel that the city is history itself; Salzburg strives to show its complete past to visitors, with stories still preserved in its ancient buildings.
The fortress castle standing atop the mountain is a prime example, its geographical location already indicating its oppositional stance to the commoners below. The dark cannons aimed at the residential areas of the commoners, the towering walls blocking out the cries of the angry populace.
Within the strict barriers, there is the impeccable life of religious leaders and local lords, elegant and untouchable. This medieval city, which started with salt mines and trade, created a theocratic and autocratic leader, clutching the interests tightly in hand. In the initial confrontation between divine and royal power in the Middle Ages, Salzburg chose Rome. 700 years later, when the Thirty Years' War began, the weathered Salzburg chose neutrality, which is why we can still see the ancient city's former appearance today.
If I were to represent the Salzburg I saw with one color, it would be a city of white hues. The distant white clouds and snow-capped mountains, the nearby rivers, and the city itself seem like a string of pearls nestled in a green valley, harmoniously integrated, elegant yet not monotonous, simple yet not mediocre. Ending with Baroque, yet everywhere revealing the flavors of the Renaissance and even the Middle Ages, this may well be the most nostalgic ancient city in all of Austria.
High up over Salzburg you get an amazing view over the city and the snowcapped mountains on the other side. The panoramic tower you get an amazing 360 view. Unfortunately I was walking around inside when the weather was clear, and when I finished the fortress inside, which was very interesting btw, it started to snow heavily and we couldn't see very far on the tower. Also the ticket only allows you to go into each attraction once so make sure you go up the tower when the weather is good.
Salzburg, Austria, is the birthplace of the music god Mozart, and the commanding height of the city is the castle fortress. The entire castle fortress is quite large, including a museum, with a viewing platform, a wide view, overlooking the city!
Salzburg, Austria's second largest city, is a historic city, of which Salzburg Fortress is an important tourist attraction, we visit here, I own the highest point of the fortress, overlooking the city panoramic view.

Salzburg Fortress introduction: Hornsalzburg Fortress (German: Festung Hohensalzburg) is located on the monk mountain of Salzburg more than 100 meters above sea level in the old city of Salzburg. It is the residence of the bishops of Salzburg in successive generations. It is also one of the largest medieval castles in Europe. It is considered a symbol of Salzburg. The main courtyard of the castle has a sink built in 1539, and an old orange tree standing by the sink has been around for nearly 350 years; the gold interior of the ceremonial hall is luxurious, and you can see gilded wood carvings and gorgeous Italian pottery fireplaces. The museum displays medieval art treasures, which are breathtaking to visitors; in addition, you can see the torture chamber, the prison and the human-controlled mechanical organ known as the "Salzburg rudder" (1502), for which Mozart's father wrote a hymn. The castle's freight cable car, built in 1515, is probably the world's oldest cable car; today the castle's traffic is modern, all connected by air cable car, the cable car takes ten minutes to climb the castle, the castle can be taken to climb the mountain trails.
The Fort Hornsalzburg is a landmark building in Salzburg. In order to resist the riots, the Bishop built a fortress on the peaks, stocked up on a large number of living and war supplies, and became a fully functional small city.
