Residenzplatz, Heritage square in Old Town Salzburg, Austria
The Residenzplatz forms a central courtyard bordered by the Cathedral, Old Residence palace, New Residence with its bell tower, and townhouses.
Prince-Archbishop Wolf Dietrich von Raitenau initiated the construction in 1587, replacing fifty-five medieval buildings and a cemetery above an ancient Roman forum.
The Residence Fountain, created between 1656 and 1661, displays four horses, giants, dolphins, and a Triton statue made from Untersberg limestone.
The square hosts multiple annual events including an open-air cinema in summer, Saint Rupert's Fair in September, and a Christmas market during winter.
During the 1980s and 1990s, this historical square transformed into a concert venue welcoming performers like Joe Cocker and Tina Turner.
