The first church building in this place dates back to the first century AD. The current building, which became the first baroque cathedral in the German-speaking lands, was built already in the 16th century. Today, the cathedral has 11 altars and 5 (!!! ) organs independent of each other. Salzburger Dom is also famous for the font in which Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart was baptized. Free admission.
Please note that if you stand in front of the entrance to the cathedral and slowly approach it, you will be able to observe an interesting optical illusion. Keep a close eye on the column of St. Mary, which stands in the square, and the angels with a crown on the facade of the cathedral. At one point, the crown will smoothly fall right on Mary's head.
