Domgrabungsmuseum Salzburg, Archaeological museum under Cathedral Square in Salzburg, Austria

The Cathedral Excavations Museum displays archaeological remains beneath Salzburg Cathedral, featuring Roman villa foundations, architectural elements, and original mosaic floors from ancient times.

Archaeological excavations between 1956 and 1958 established medieval archaeology studies, leading to preservation efforts instead of the initial plan to refill the site.

The museum exhibits Roman gravestones, milestones, and structural elements that document the transformation from Roman settlement to religious center through different time periods.

Located in the northern cathedral arch at Residenzplatz, the 400-square-meter museum requires advance booking for guided tours during its renovation period until 2028.

The museum contains remnants of Bishop Virgil's cathedral foundations, Carolingian and Ottonian structures, and a late 4th-century building with a peristyle courtyard.
