Salzburger Altstadt, Medieval and Baroque district in Salzburg, Austria.

The historic center extends on both banks of the Salzach River, encompassing 236 hectares of architectural heritage with narrow streets and towering spires.

The district evolved from a prince-archbishop state to become a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1996, preserving structures from the Middle Ages through the 19th century.

The district contains numerous churches, monasteries, and merchant houses that showcase the architectural influence of Italian designers Vincenzo Scamozzi and Santini Solari.

Visitors can access major landmarks within the district through a network of pedestrian zones, with the Hohensalzburg Fortress accessible by funicular railway.

The Franziskanerkirche, dating from 1208, represents the oldest preserved church in the district and maintains continuous Franciscan presence since 1642.
