Franciscan Church, Salzburg, Romanesque church in Altstadt, Salzburg, Austria
The Franciscan Church combines a Romanesque basilica nave with a late Gothic chancel, featuring star-ribbed vaulting and a tall slender tower.
The original structure dates back to 701, making it one of Salzburg's earliest churches, with substantial reconstruction occurring after a fire in 1167.
The high altar, created in 1709 by Johann Bernhard Fischer von Erlach, displays a central Madonna statue sculpted by Michael Pacher between 1495 and 1498.
Visitors can access the church daily from 6:45 PM to 7:45 PM through the entrance at Franziskanergasse 5, except during religious services.
The church contains a 12th-century marble lion on its pulpit staircase, depicting a man pushing a sword into the creature's belly.
