Salzburg, Austria

The village is located on the site of Iuvavum, a Roman settlement. In 696, it was established as an episcopal see, and in 798, it was made the seat of the archbishop. Its primary revenue streams were gold mining, trading, and salt extraction. One of Europe's biggest medieval strongholds, Hohensalzburg, was built in the eleventh century. With the construction of several Baroque cathedrals and monasteries, Salzburg emerged as a focal point of the Counter-Reformation in the 17th century. One of the best-preserved city centers north of the Alps is Salzburg's historic core, which is well-known for its Baroque architecture. In 1996, the historic center was added to the UNESCO World Heritage List. There are three universities in the city, and many students attend them.From the Neolithic Period until the present, the city's surrounding territory has been continuously inhabited. It served as the administrative hub for the Celtic Alums in the Kingdom of Noricum during the La Tène era.aFollowing the establishment of the Roman city in the vicinity of the ancient town, the other towns on the Salzburg hills were abandoned following the Roman conquest in 15 BC.

For a long time, the early carcass houses, monasteries, and Romanesque and Gothic churches ruled the medieval city. The biggest basilica north of the Alps was the Cathedral of Archbishop Conrad of Wittelsbach. One of the most prominent ecclesiastical gothic structures in southern Germany is the choir of the Franciscan Church, which was built by Stephan Krumenauer after Hans von Burghausen started it. The magnificent halls of the "Hoher Stock" at Hohensalzburg Fortress, Nonnberg Abbey, the Margaret Chapel in St Peter's Abbey, and St George's Chapel were built near the conclusion of the Gothic era.
