At first, even the nameless cathedral was cool, so I took pictures hard, but later I didn't have the same inspiration as the first time, so I respect it as well as ㅋㅋ It's still preserved!
奥地利的萨尔茨堡大教堂是一座十七世纪巴洛克式罗马天主教大教堂。 圣鲁珀特于 774 年在罗马城镇的遗迹上建立了这座教堂,大教堂在火灾后于 1181 年重建。 在十七世纪,大教堂以巴洛克风格完全重建成现在的样子。 萨尔茨堡大教堂位于萨尔茨堡市中心,在霍亨萨尔茨堡的山脚下。
The cathedral is Salzburg's most famous landmark, and we can see this green dome and two green spires from that angle of the city, but unfortunately I didn't take the white interior seriously.

Salzburg can be divided into Salz and Burg, the former meaning German "salt" and the latter meaning "highland". Named for the nearby salt mines and castles, across the grain street, there is an open space called the Bishop's Palace Square. There is a big ball on the square. There are several magnificent Baroque-style buildings in the square. The cathedral is one of them. It was founded by Virgie in 774 and has been built several times. It is said to be the first Baroque-style Church North of the Alps. There is a huge one in the middle of the square. Salzburg is the largest Baroque fountain in Central Europe. More than 1,000 years ago, Salzburg was an independent Church state, and the symbol of the supreme religious power. Therefore, there are many classical buildings left over from its construction. Salzburg Cathedral is one of the most important buildings in the city. The church has gone through eight centuries, storms and storms, from the destruction and reconstruction of the fire, witnessed the historical traces of Salzburg. As a soul Church in Salzburg, it was once a baptismal sanctuary of Mozart, where he served as an organist for many years in his short life, and still displays the organ Mozart played at that time. And the funeral of the famous conductor Karajan was also held in this cathedral. The interior walls of the church are mainly gray and white, and the complex sculptures of Baroque are vividly displayed on the beams and paintings. Inside the main wall of the Cathedral are four giant statues - "St. Peter and Paul with keys and swords, and the state patron saints Rupert and Virgil with salt bottles and church models. The two emblazoned shields represent the two main builders of the cathedral, Marcus Sitikus and Paris Rodrn. The ceiling paintings depict the life and suffering of Jesus. Entering Salzburg Cathedral is attracted by the exquisite sculptures. The most striking one is the organ of the cathedral, which is said to be the first in Europe, with a total of 6,000 organs. A group of pipe organs on the side of the wall is particularly eye-catching, which Mozart used. In the corner of the church, we need a precious cultural relic, the baptismal basin, in which young Mozart was baptized. The Museum of the church is also worth seeing. It contains medieval sculptures of the church and Baroque paintings. To the west of the Bishop's Square, this is the palace of the archbishops who ruled Salzburg for more than a thousand years. The sky is late and they are only in a hurry outside. I took a photo in a hurry, as if I was doing a modern exhibition. It's a pity. Walking out of the church and down the alley beside the square is the fortress of the castle.
Walking into the church, the white walls, the complicated decoration, it looks very luxurious, even the wooden chairs below, have beautiful carvings, from the use of traces, it should have been many years. The main altar of the cathedral, a circle of windows, introduced the sun into it, it seems very bright, the church generally uses the light to light the main altar, its design is very different. The towering central dome, embedded with many murals, is at its highest point a white eagle soars above it, exuding a golden glow, the national emblem of Austria, with special historical significance. Its roof is full of sculptures and murals, and the whole church is more like a fine artifact. There is also a huge organ upstairs, known as the first in Europe, where Mozart was baptized and served as an organist.
