Residenzplatz

Set in the center of Altstadt, Residenzplatz is a must visit when visiting the city. Dating back to the 16th Century, it was built by the then Archbishop of Salzburg, Wolf Dietrich Raitenau. Enclosed by archiepiscopal residences, both old and new, this beautiful square is a sight to behold. Equally mesmerizing is the baroque Residenzbrunnen. The square is a popular haunt for cultural events such as the St. Rupert's Fair, open-air cinema in the summer, concerts and parties.
