About this tour
This session covers Salzburg Cathedral, rebuilt in Baroque style after a fire destroyed the earlier medieval building. You see the dome and twin towers from Domplatz and then the bronze entrance doors, each added to mark a different anniversary in the cathedral's history. It is a focused look at one building rather than a wider old town walk.
I stay close to the facade and entrance throughout, since the detail there rewards a steady camera more than a quick pass. Questions come in on the rebuilding history throughout, and I answer them as we go. A short note on the cathedral's interior follows for anyone planning to visit later.
This suits anyone with an interest in Baroque architecture and church history. It also works well paired with the fortress session for a fuller picture of the old town.
