Katakomben Salzburg, Cave chambers in Salzburg, Austria
Carved into the Mönchsberg rock, these early Christian chambers feature two main chapels connected by steep stone staircases and observation platforms.
The caves date back to late antiquity and were initially used as hermitages before being incorrectly labeled as catacombs in the 17th century.
The Gertruden Chapel contains remnants of frescoes depicting the martyrdom of Thomas Becket, while the Maximus Chapel displays Latin inscriptions from 1521.
The site opens daily from 10:00 to 18:00 between May and September, and from 10:00 to 17:00 between October and April.
A small wooden bell tower remains as evidence of the original hermitage function, when religious individuals lived in isolation within these rock chambers.
