Salzburg Photo Gallery

I didn't anticipate the weather to be this gloomy in autumn.

The catacombs are wedged along the hillside. They're open to the public and are mostly empty these days.

Of the several churches in the area, the Dom is the largest. Civic life seems to revolve around it, with a market on one side, and a big square on the other where horse carridges await customers.

It's a large church, but the interior was not particularly impressive.

Without the sun, it was a chilly day to venture about outdoors.

Back before the photography era, panoramas such as this one offered a close glimpse of what the world beyond looks like. This panorama of Salzburg and its surroundings from 1829 is suitably displayed in a circular theatre, where visitors can explore in all four directions.

The Salzburg Museum has an interesting collection, and some intricately-decorated rooms.

Festung Hohensalzburg is one of the largest 11th century fortresses standing in Europe. The massive facility in a series of museums and lookout points today. Unfortunately, the partly cloudy skies from morning gave way to rain by the time I reached the top.

Behind the castle ...

Behold ... Salzburg
