Architecture sights in Salzburg

  1. A

    Stiftskirche St Peter

    Turning left at the first courtyard off Franziskanergasse brings you to the marvellously ornate Stiftskirche St Peter. Beneath a green stuccoed ceiling lit by chandeliers, the walls are smothered with religious art and baroque swirls. Look out for the dramatic statue of the archangel Michael shoving a crucifix through the throat of a goaty demon. The graveyard is home to the so-called catacombs, cavelike chapels and crypts hewn out of the cliff face.

    Franzis­kanerkirche

    Your gaze is drawn to the slender spires of the Franzis­kanerkirche, housing a baroque altar surrounded by five pillars.
