The Arriving in Salzburg, I first went to ride on a boat trip on the Salzach river, and then decided to visit the most beautiful and majestic in the city Cathedral.

the interior of the Cathedral, executed in the Baroque style simply stunning. All the walls are decorated with intricate colorful frescoes, each of which deserves your undivided attention.

Many of the murals are located on high octagonal dome of the Cathedral, which reaches a height of 70 meters. Within this splendor can simultaneously accommodate up to 10,000 people.

In this Cathedral are three doors that symbolize Hope, Faith and Love. The main pride of the Cathedral and it is an unusual organ with 4,000 pipes, which is surrounded by numerous angels.

in addition to the Central organ in the Cathedral is set on another 4, but smaller. On one of these bodies was once played by Mozart himself. And at a little distance, on the bronze lions, is a great big font, in which in those days baptized the future great composer.
